“And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write…I know
- thy works,
- and charity,
- and service,
- and faith,
- and thy patience,
- and thy works; and the last [works] to be more than the first.
Notwithstanding…thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and…I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
But unto…as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak [big clue – Satanic / demonic possession is recognized in the speaking!]…hold fast till I come.
And he that overcometh, and keepeth MY works unto the end, to him will I [not HER] GIVE POWER OVER THE NATIONS.
The spirit of Jezebel is still alive and kicking her enemies in the teeth. The clues to her identity – and there are more than one not only over time but at the same time – look like they are just crumbs of information, but follow them to find your way home.
- She claims to be a Bible-based Christian.
- She is a speaker.
- She reaches an international audience.
Not to beat up on any one in particular, just pointing out THE OBVIOUS.
Paula White flaunts the most fundamental signs of Anti-Christ rebelling against the most fundamental rules of Christian leadership from the mouth of the Apostle Paul himself.
Paula White-Cain is the president of Paula White Ministries, headquartered in Apopka, Florida. She is the Senior Pastor of City of Destiny Church and hosts the Christian television program Paula Today. Paula is a renowned life coach, bestselling author, and highly sought-after motivational speaker. Her commitment to humanity is felt worldwide…
Paula’s childhood was marred by sexual and physical abuse. But at the age of 18, Paula was introduced to the Bible…soon after, she…received a vision that she was to preach the gospel of Christ around the world.
Pastor Paula…went on to lead multiple mega-churches, including one of the largest churches in America, and she founded Paula White Ministries, a global media ministry that has touched the lives of hundreds of millions of people.
Pastor Paula is a humanitarian leader whose ministries have provided hundreds-of-thousands of pounds of food to the needy in the United States and tens-of-millions of dollars in humanitarian assistance to the needy around the world…
Pastor Paula…noted for paving the way for millions of young women to pursue God’s call for their lives. As a leader, she is a recipient of countless awards and honors…
Pastor Paula has frequently delivered invocations of note, including…a presenter at Maya Angelou’s 80th birthday celebration.
Today, she serves as Spiritual Advisor to President Donald J. Trump.
Pastor Paula White-Cain is married to Jonathan Cain of the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame band, Journey.
Note, as of May 2023 Jonathan Cain is still an active member touring with the rock band – when he is not leading the worship services on Sunday morning at his wife’s megachurches. Can anyone seriously believe the crowds flocking to the sing-a-longs have their hearts and minds fixed on the other famous Rocker?
Let’s compare Paula White’s career with the biblical guidelines for a church pastor.
“Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling…understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
- Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
- “Suffer not a woman to teach.” This is not a suggestion or a cultural thing that has changed with modern education. So there is no misunderstanding Paul’s emphatic and precise commandment he is quoting Moses verbatim “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.” (Exodus 22:18)
- A bishop / leader then must be…the husband of one wife. Paula White has been married three times. First marriage as a teenager to the father of her unborn child, they divorced when the baby was born, at the same time she became a born again Christian. Second marriage within a few months of meeting a man she at a church where she was a voluntary janitor. I’m not being judgmental when I see the signs of homeless drug addict. I’ve spent decades involved in Christian administration of homeless ministries where the biggest block to rehab is the overdrive in counselling replacing dependency on drugs with codependency on someone who “understands” them, and reclaiming the exogenous drug-induced sense of being alive with endogenous sex-induced hormones. And what do you know, ” [Mr.] White became addicted to prescription drugs and eventually attempted suicide.” This marriage, too ended in divorce.
- not greedy of filthy lucre – Paula White advocates the prosperity gospel. Her official net worth is only $6 million, but we understand that as is the standard practice of individuals in her tax bracket, much of her luxury lifestyle is paid as business expenses, such as her mansion, and condo in Trump Park Avenue. An audit later made public by a United States Senate committee showed that White’s first church co-pastored with her second husband received $150 million in just two years from 2004 to 2006 and spent tax-exempt ministry funds one year to pay nearly $900,000 for the couple’s waterfront mansion, over a million dollars in salaries to family members and bought a private jet for the Whites’ use. White and her church did not cooperate with the investigation.
- nor [suffer a woman] to usurp authority over the man. Paula White prayed with Trump before he went onstage to accept the Republican nomination for president and became the first clergywoman to lead an inaugural prayer when he took the oath of office. She may be putting her church’s tax-exempt status in question, as churches are not allowed to engage in overt political activity.
Paula White is in many ways a quintessentially Trump figure…
For years he has called her his longtime friend and personal pastor. When he ran for president in 2016, he turned to her to drive his evangelical support. And on Thursday the White House confirmed that Ms. White had officially joined the administration to advise Mr. Trump’s Faith and Opportunity Initiative, which aims to give religious groups more of a voice in government programs devoted to issues like defending religious liberty and fighting poverty.
Her new role gives her a formal seat at the table as Mr. Trump tries to ensure that evangelicals — the foundation of his political base — remain united behind him in his bid to win a second term. As a liaison to Mr. Trump, Ms. White has regularly facilitated meetings for conservative pastors and White House officials, assuring the president’s core constituencies that he addresses their interests.
“We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed…
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” (II Corinthians 6)
Politics and religion define the notorious Phoenician queen Jezebel, whose name, like Yeshua, did not include the letter or pronunciation of J among the English speaking population prior to 1633 which, obviously, did not happen until after the 1611 King James Version of the Bible.
Her name was spelled “Isabel” even in English. Sound familiar?
Born as she was during Middle Ages when the Church reigned supreme, Isabella’s parents would have deliberately named her after a Bible character. And this most famous of Spanish queens is the virtual reincarnation of the Sidonian Jezebel, who could very well have been her ancestor. The blood evidence they both left behind certainly matches.
Isabella is famous, with her husband Ferdinand, for funding Christopher Columbus’ exploratory voyage to the new world in 1492. This single action motivated by trade and empowerment through religion, so characteristic of the Sidonian’s practices, shot Spain to stratospheric heights of wealth and power.
“Spain enjoyed a cultural golden age in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries when silver and gold from American mines increasingly financed a long series of European and North African wars.” To pay for this siphoning of wealth? “The population of the Native American population in Mexico declined by an estimated 90% (reduced to 1–2.5 million people) by the early 17th century. In Peru, the indigenous Amerindian pre-contact population of around 6.5 million declined to 1 million by the early 17th century. The overwhelming cause of the decline in both Mexico and Peru was infectious diseases, such as smallpox and measles, although the brutality of the Encomienda [forced labor like that in the Nazi concentration camps] also played a significant part in the population decline.
And then there was the religious persecution in the name of Christianity.
Beginning in 1514 Spanish conquerors adopted “the Requirement,” an ultimatum in which Indians were forced to accept “the Church as the Ruler and Superior of the whole world” or face persecution. If Indians did not immediately comply, the Requirement warned them:
We shall take you and your wives and your children, and shall make slaves of them, and as such shall sell and dispose of them as their Highnesses may command; and we shall take away your goods, and shall do all the harm and damage that we can.”
Columbus was forthcoming that he should be remembered “as a captain who for such a long time up to this day has borne arms without laying them aside for an hour.”
Isabella is also famous for being “Europe’s first great queen“. The similarities between the two Jezebels are striking.
- Established the first strong European / Israelite nation-state through the creation of “the Holy Brotherhood”, used to keep the nobles in check. This establishment of royal authority can be seen as one of the crucial steps toward the creation of a strong nation-states.
“Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD …[replacing them with] the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred…eat at Jezebel’s table.” (I Kings 18:13,19)
- With her husband expelled all Jews who would not convert to Christianity from their lands on pain of death in the most cataclysmic event for Jews prior to the holocaust.
“And [Elijah] said.. I, even I only, am left…And the LORD said…I have left me seven thousand in Israel.” (I Kings 19:14-18)
- While inquisitions swept all of Christian Europe, the Spanish Inquisition was the most infamous of all religious persecutions.
“Put your feet to the fire” and “a slow death” were not figures of speech during the infamous Inquisition under Torquemada which ferreted out by torture and executed by cruel means any “heretic”.
On March 31, 1492…Jewish subjects were given until July 31, 1492 to choose between accepting baptism and leaving the country…land-holdings, of course, had to be sold; gold, silver and coined money were forfeit…
A modern parallel to this practice was the Nazis seizure of property privately owned by individual Jews and Jewish families between 1933 and 1945. The more conservative estimates begin at $US8 billion, the vast majority never returned nor compensation made.
During the sixteenth century, Protestant reformers bore the brunt of the Inquisition. Curiously, though, a large percentage of Protestants were of Jewish origin…
many true and faithful Christians, because of the testimony of enemies, rivals, slaves and other low people—and still less appropriate—without tests of any kind, have been locked up in secular prisons, tortured and condemned like relapsed heretics, deprived of their goods and properties, and given over to the secular arm to be executed, at great danger to their souls, giving a pernicious example and causing scandal to many.
Torture was always a means to obtain the confession of the accused, not a punishment itself. It was applied without distinction of sex or age, including children and the aged.
The methods of torture most used by the Inquisition were garrucha, toca and the potro. The application of the garrucha, also known as the strappado, consisted of suspending the criminal from the ceiling by a pulley with weights tied to the ankles, with a series of lifts and drops, during which arms and legs suffered violent pulls and were sometimes dislocated.[26]. The toca, also called tortura del agua, consisted of introducing a cloth into the mouth of the victim, and forcing them to ingest water spilled from a jar so that they had impression of drowning.[27]The potro, the rack, was the instrument of torture used most frequently.[28] The assertion that “confessionem esse veram, non factam vi tormentorum” (the confession was true and free) sometimes follows a description of how, presently after torture ended, the subject freely confessed to his offenses…[29]
The “Spanish Chair,” a device used to hold the victim while the soles of their feet were roasted, did exist in Spain during the period of the Inquisition but it is uncertain whether it was actually used…
- severe punishments existed, among them long sentences to jail or the galleys, and the confiscation of all their property. Also physical punishments existed, such as whipping.
- The most serious punishment was…burning at the stake…
the condemned had to participate in the ceremony of an auto de fe, that solemnized his return to the Church (in most cases), or punishment as an impenitent heretic. The autos de fe could be private (auto particular) or public (auto publico or auto general).
Initially the public autos did not have any special solemnity or attract large audiences, with time they became solemn ceremonies, celebrated with large public crowds, amidst a festive atmosphere. The auto de fe eventually became a baroque spectacle, with staging meticulously calculated to cause the greatest effect among the spectators.
The autos were conducted in a large public space (in the largest plaza of the city, frequently), generally on holidays. The rituals related to the auto began the previous night (the “procession of the Green Cross”) and lasted the whole day sometimes. The auto de fe frequently was taken to the canvas by painters: one of the better known examples is the painting by Francesco Rizzi held by the Prado Museum in Madrid and which represents the auto celebrated in the Plaza Mayor of Madrid on June 30, 1680. The last public auto de fe took place in 1691.
Those familiar with the fictional Cercei Lannister on Game of Thrones should recognize the same power-grabbing actions in Isabella’s reign. Watching this program triggers a gut horror reaction that is more informing than simply reading words for which we have no visual or emotional context from our own limited experience.
Cercei was ranked No. 1 of “30 Best Game of Thrones Villains” by Rolling Stone and described as the “most dangerous human being in Westeros“. This is quite a tribute if you consider that Ramsey Bolton is only ranked No. 4, despite his characterization as “‘pure evil ‘…basically Ted Bundy…the sort of irredeemable monster you usually read about in books on serial killers.
If you still feel that a God who would order certain groups to be destroyed is a monster, watch Game of Thrones, or at least read about the characters on this top rated, historically based show, and consider whose side you want to be on – the defender or the destroyer of the living.
Every country, including the United States, uses torture.
The Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment of Punishment (The Torture Convention)…adopted in 1984…became the first confirmed and binding agreement toward eradicating torture…
some of the most damaging acts of torture have been performed by our country’s own CIA…
The terror that accompanies the suggestion of torture is one of its worse aspects.
