Part 8 - The Evil Past of the ‘Pagan Roman Empire’ and ‘Pagan Papal Rome’

This Article is part of a multi-part Study Series called The Scarlet Harlot Religion Identified.

Both the ‘Ancient Pagan Roman Empire’ and the ‘Pagan Papal Roman Catholic Church’ have a long list of historical crimes and sins as borne out in “Fox’s Book of Martyrs.” Just some of their crimes and sins are listed here below.

The Ancient Pagan Roman Empire:

  • Put to death God’s Son, the Savior, Jesus Christ.
  • Martyred Christians for three centuries.
  • Killed 1.1 million people around 70AD. These were mostly Jews according to the Jewish historian Josephus.
  • Destroyed the second Jewish Temple and the city of Jerusalem in 70AD.
  • Destroyed Jerusalem again in 135AD
  • Killed hundreds of thousands of Jews between 132 and 135 AD.

Pagan Papal Rome (The Roman Catholic Church):

  • Expelled all Jews from Spain in 1492AD
  • Expelled all Jews from Portugal in 1497AD
  • Killed hundreds of thousands of Jews in ‘the Crusades’
  • Killed hundreds of thousands of Protestants for hundreds of years during ‘the inquisitions.’ (Many credible historical sources say the number killed worldwide by Rome runs into the millions.)
  • Supported Hitler who killed 11 million, Jews, Christian believers, and others during WWII
  • Moved pedophile priests upon other unsuspecting parishes, worldwide

Paul explains the ‘blessed hope [expectation]’ of the members of the genuine “church,” which is “the body of Christ” who look to their Rapture to heaven.

“For our conversation [citizenship] is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 Who [at His appearing] shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious [resurrected] body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.” (Philippians 3:20-21 (KJV)

“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep [dead in the grave], that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep [are dead] in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent [precede] them which are asleep [in the grave]. 16  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and The [Sleeping] Dead In Christ Shall Rise First: 17  Then We Which Are Alive And Remain Shall Be ‘Caught Up’ [Latin, rapturo, ‘Raptured’] Together With Them In The Clouds, To Meet The Lord In The Air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (KJV)

“Behold, I shew you a mystery [secret]; We shall not all sleep [in death], but we shall all be changed, 52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we [who are still alive at that time] shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.” (1 Corinthians 15:51-54 (KJV)

Roman Catholicism, as the root religion of the coming “Scarlet Harlot” World Religion, is even now readying the World for Antichrist. We already see this by the present Pope Francis now turning back much of the few Biblical doctrines for which the RCC has stood.
