It is obvious when the Roman Empire embraced Christianity that they did not get rid of their pagan and occult ways and it became their foundation for interpreting scriptures.
Because of that they can sway to go along with the world.
The Bible says the Roman Empire does not lose their dominion until Jesus puts down the world.
Which will be all Caucasian nations and nations taken over by them together as one.
Which they shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
Which they will do by the new age.
The new age interprets the Bible and religions according to the occult and evolution, and people are going to evolve to be spiritual, and greater, and Jesus became an ascended master among others, and there is no personal God, but they honor the God of forces the power of the Cosmos, and the New Age Christ is the next world teacher.
The Bible says Babylon will never have physical dominion again but her life is prolonged for a time and season.
Which her ways are still on earth which she represents human religion, the occult, and the kingdom of man, which is what the beast kingdom is about.
Since the Roman Empire does not lose her dominion until the world is put down her religious system will go along with them which they will support the new age interpretation of the Bible.
Which the Pope will be head of the unified religious system with all religions interpreted by the new age and he will be the false prophet, and the Vatican the headquarters.
The foundation of the Roman Catholic Church is paganism, and the occult.
Some people think the 7 Churches in Revelation is 7 Churches back in the 1st century but they are not.
It is a prophetic statement to how the Church age will go in popular influence.
And if any flaws God always has people in the truth.
Rev 2:1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write
Rev 2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
When the Church first started they sold all things that was not a necessity and distributed to those that had need.
And had all things common which they shared everything.
This Church age was neglecting that.
Rev 2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write;
Rev 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Rev 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Rev 2:12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write;
Rev 2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
Rev 2:14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
Rev 2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
Rev 2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
Rev 2:18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write;
Rev 2:19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
Rev 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because 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.
Rev 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
Rev 2:24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
The Roman Catholic Church that was a popular influence for many years covering 3 Church ages.
She is known as the synagogue of Satan for her foundation is of paganism, and the occult.
Rev 3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write
Rev 3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
Rev 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
Rev 3:4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
Then the Protestant movement.
Rev 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write;
Rev 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Rev 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
1Th 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief
Jesus did not have anything to say against this Church.
He said He will keep them from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
There can only be one temptation that can come upon all the world at the same time.
And that is when the world says Peace and safety as the nations come together as one to work for peace on earth.
And establish a world wide system that is contrary to God which is the new age that exalts people.
So this Church age is happening now.
Rev 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write;
Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Rev 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.
2Ti 3:4 lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
1Ti 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
1Ti 6:8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
1Ti 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Then the last Church age where there are many hypocrites not acting Christlike.
And believing in the prosperity Gospel which they believe God is blessing them with money, and material things.
The Roman Catholic Church is false and has many serious flaws because of their pagan, and occult foundation.
