I grew up Southern Baptist, hearing all kinds of terrifying things about the end of the world. I had immense religious anxiety as a little girl because I thought I was going to have to face the beast. I converted to Catholicism three years ago, and this video is of much consolation to me, thank you so much
It's a consolation to you that you don't have to face the beast, but you now belong to the "church" whose leader _is_ the beast?? And this whole counterfeit Christian, Whore of Babylon "church" is going straight to hell. 🔥 And _that's_ a consolation?!? Furthermore: Blasphemous titles claimed for the pope have been embellished and enlarged over the centuries. But a few of these boastful claims appear in an ecclesiastical (Roman Catholic) dictionary, by Lucius Ferraris, entitled _Prompta Bibliotheca Canonica,_ Vol. VI, pgs. 438, 442, article "Pope." _The Catholic Encyclopedia,_ 1913 edition, Vol. VI, p. 48, speaks of this book as "a veritable encyclopedia of religious knowledge," and "a precious mine of information." "The pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God, and the vicar of God." "The pope is of such lofty and supreme dignity that, properly speaking, he has not been established in any rank of dignity, but rather has been placed upon the very summit of all ranks of dignities. . . ." "He is likewise the divine monarch and supreme emperor and king of kings." "Hence the pope is crowned with a triple crown, as king of heaven and of earth and of the lower regions." "So that if it were possible that the angels might err in the faith, or might think contrary to the faith, they could be judged and excommunicated by the pope." "The pope is as it were God on earth, sole sovereign of the faithful of Christ, chief king of kings, having plenitude of power, to whom has been entrusted by the omnipotent God direction not only of the earthly but also of the heavenly kingdom." "The pope can modify divine law, since his power is not of man but of God." The above quotes are from _What's Behind The New World Order?_ Go to CatholicNewWorldOrder.com and click on the top link. ---------- "I am all in all and *above all,* so that God, Himself and I, the Vicar of God, have but one consistory, and I am able to do ALMOST ALL THAT GOD CAN DO . . . What therefore, can you make of me but God?" -Pope Nicholas, quoted in _Antichrist_ by Ian Paisley, pg. 54. The pope calls himself God, i.e., "Lord God the pope," "another God on earth." "We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty," Pope Leo XIII said in an _Encyclical Letter,_ June 20, 1894. "The Pope is not only the representative of Jesus Christ, but he is Jesus Christ Himself, hidden under veil of flesh," the _Catholic National_ said in July 1895. And every priest is an "Alter Christus," Another Christ. So every priest is Jesus. Plus, during the Mass the priest transubstantiates the bread into the literal, "real presence" of Christ. In other words, man creates God. "He is the creator of his Creator." _-The Dignity and Duties of the Priest_ by Liguori, Ch. 1, Part IV. How is any of this _not_ blasphemy?! Christianity teaches that the pope is the Antichrist. The proud pontiff's official title is Vicar of Christ, meaning "in the place of Christ." Vicar of Christ translated into Greek is Antichristos, in English Antichrist, also meaning "in the place of Christ." Vicar of Christ and Antichrist are the exact same word in two different languages. Vicar of Christ in Latin is Vicarius Filii Dei, meaning Vicar of the Son of God, or Vicar of Christ. VICARIVS FILII DEI. Add up the 11 Roman numerals and you get 666. Rev. 13:18. angelfire.com/on/3angels Revelation 13. 1 I . . . saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns . . . and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And _the _*_dragon (Satan)_*_ gave him (the beast) his power, and his seat,_ and great authority. 4 And _they worshipped the _*_dragon_*_ which gave power unto the beast:_ and they worshipped the beast . . . 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies . . . 6 And he opened his mouth in *blasphemy against God,* to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, *_Come out of her,_** my people,* that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

I am so glad I discovered your talk show! Expanding my knowledge about the mysteries of our faith already. Thank you! And Fr. Pagano thank you for introducing me to Hallow. Wow!
As a convert.. this is important because we former Protestants have a mindset that goes against what you were talking about. Even listening, my thoughts were… What!!! But we must know the truth. I must stop listening to Protestant shows that talk about the sign of the beast and the rapture. I am going to get Scott Hahn’s book. Jesus is coming back, but not the Protestant way. The way will be in truth.
I personally don’t believe in the Protestants view or their interpretation of the Bible, specially the book of Revelation. Their interpretation of the rapture and Christ’s one thousand year reign. I have always felt that way based on the teachings of the Catholic and the Orthodox churches, but specially after reading the messages of True Life in God that Jesus has been giving to an Orthodox lady called Vassula Ryden since 1985 to this day. The messages are mainly about the unity of the churches. It’s the most beautiful and profound book I’ve ever read in my entire life, listening to Jesus talking to us first hand. The Vatican examined her writings. First she was given a notification bc there were certain theological matters that needed to be clarified. Then the notification was removed. For example regarding the rapture Jesus tells us in those messages that the rapture is meant in a spiritual sense, it is a rapture of the Holy Spirit that Cardinal Radzinger (when he was the prefect for the congregation of the faith) has talked about: the second Pentecost. One will be taken (raptured) by the Holy Spirit and the other will not. Vassula has many videos on UA-cam on different topics from the messages that she receives. You can search for “Video of Vassula Ryden about the rapture”. The website is tlig.org.
@@margokupelian344 the protestants use the verse to defend their 'rapture' (Catholics indeed believe in a rapture, but at the end of time and Christ's second coming. People won't be 'left behind' everyone will be raptured: the dead and the living) "...one will be taken, and one will be left..." but they don't read it in context, because right after the disciples say "Where [will they be taken] Lord?" and Jesus responded "where the body is, there the vultures will gather." I think if I were a Protestant and believed that, I'd rather be 'left behind.'
I was like you too. I've learned so much from a book that takes Protestant view compared to Catholic teaching similar to what these guys are saying but takes in many other references in Old and New Testaments. Look for RAPTURE:The End Times Error That Leaves the Bible Behind. By David B. Currie by Sophia press. Forward by Scott Hahn. Title is misleading seemingly but read the book cover for more.
@@margokupelian344 *but specially after reading the messages of True Life in God that Jesus has been giving to an Orthodox lady called Vassula Ryden since 1985 to this day.* Uh huh. I'd watch out for people claiming God is talking to them or receiving messages. We test those things by the bible. The very thing you seemed to have ditched to listen to this person. *It’s the most beautiful and profound book I’ve ever read in my entire life, listening to Jesus talking to us first hand. The Vatican examined her writings.* Reading the bible is listening to Jesus first hand not some woman allegedly receiving messages from Jesus. You want Jesus' true words, open your bible.
@Narrow Way To Life No. You are misinterpreting Sacred Scripture. The woman/harlot is Jerusalem, whose religious leaders were drunk on the blood of the first Christians, because they had conspired with the Romans to turns the Christians over for execution. This betrayal of God's people is what made the city a "whore."
Hi Father Pagano, great show! I have a request, in times like this a blessing would be would be greatly appreciated. If you could end your shows with one it would fortify and encourage us. Please and thank you
interesting and fun... I grew up Protestant and converted and am Half way through the work book The End by Scott Hahn and am so glad I am going through it. So illuminating :) Thanks for the historical perspective.
Catholic mystic Marino Restrepo explains the falsehoods and false teachings of the Protestant movement like 1) rapture 2) mark of the beast etc. This is because they have mis-interpreted it to mean earthly things. Scripture is spiritual not earthly/flesh related things. 1) Rapture...protestants think rapture is about people being taken up to heaven while alive while in a plane/driving etc. What it really means is at the end of your life - one will be taken to heaven. and one will not. 2) Mark of the beast. Protestants think this is about some microchip in their skin. Or some other device. What it really means is "Sin in your heart". 3) when they get some mysterious message from unknown people that theres going to be earthquakes/meteor strikes etc. In Egypt, when the Angel of the Lord came to take the first born - the first people to know about it was the hierarchy - Moses. ua-cam.com/video/6AyDeFbXsHI/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/AV1IZ1G37uQ/v-deo.html ( Brant Pitre)
I absolutely love your show! I’m a student at a Catholic university and I tune in to your podcasts every day. I would love to see you guys travel to different universities to listen in to some of the great things you have to say! God speed
John 6:66 is the only 666 scripture in the New Testament. There are 666 scriptures in the Old Testament but they have to be combined with the scripture before it or below it to make sense. John 6:66 is the only place in the Bible that is a statement in itself. This is the only place in the New Testament where Jesus followers left him over a doctrinal teaching which was they must eat his flesh and drink his blood. Jesus didn't stop them or tell them he was only speaking symbolically. He let them go.
@Narrow Way To Life It is obvious that you have not read the Old Testament. Jerusalem is the "whore or harlot" mentioned in Revelation. This is mentioned in Isaiah 1:21 and Ezekiel chapter 16. As for the robes of violet, scarlet and gold, it is describing the robes of the Jewish priests as mentioned in Exodus chapter 28. Revelation 11:8 also gives a clue that the city is Jerusalem when it says, "Their corpses will lie in the main street of the great city, WHERE INDEED THEIR LORD WAS CRUCIFIED". Where was Jesus crucified? Jerusalem. Oh and by the way, Jerusalem also sits on seven hills. The Vatican sits across the Tiber River from the seven hills the city of Rome sits on. The Vatican sits on it's own hill...Vatican Hill, which is not part of the seven hills of Rome.
@Narrow Way To Life What I gave you is what scripture actually says not an interpretation of scripture as you are trying to give.We have to always take what scripture actually says because interpretations can lead people astray. Remember in Jesus day and later John the apostle, the only scripture was the Old Testament. Even in Revelation it mentions the "city where our Lord was crucified" which was Jerusalem. Revelation 18:20 also mentions "Rejoice saints and APOSTLES...God has judged her for the way she treated you." There is only one time in history when there were APOSTLES. In the first century, since a requirement for being an apostle was to see the risen Christ. The scripture you are using does not refer to the Catholic Church or the Pope. The Catholic Church does not worship the sun. We worship the son of God...Jesus Christ. Go back and read Ezekial chapter 16 and Exodus chapter 28.
@Narrow Way To Life Good sir, your argument is riddled with holes. Nice try. I will point out two right now. 1)The colors: Purple and red are not the dominant colors of clerical clothing. Black and white are. Consider the average priest’s “clericals” (black suit with white Roman collar); priests’ clerical garb is never purple or red, and for only a short time during the liturgical year do they wear chasubles with purple or red. But every priest wears a white alb at Mass. Even bishops and cardinals usually wear black. And the pope, of course, always wears white. The purple and scarlet of the whore are contrasts to the white worn by the New Jerusalem, the Bride of Christ (Rev. 19:8). This makes two more problems: The clothing of the Bride is given a symbolic interpretation (“the righteous acts of the saints” 19:8) implying that the clothing of the whore should also be given a symbolic meaning, and the identification of the Bride as New Jerusalem (Rev. 3:12, 21:2, 10) suggests that the whore may be old, apostate Jerusalem-a contrast used elsewhere in Scripture (Gal. 4:25-26). Another problem is that it ignores the liturgical meaning of the colors purple and red. Purple symbolizes repentance, and red honors the blood of Christ and the Christian martyrs-both of these things being noble, whereas in Revelation these colors reveal how ignoble the whore is. It is entirely appropriate for Catholic clerics to wear purple and scarlet because these have been liturgical colors ever since ancient Israel. In fact, together with blue and white, they were the dominant colors of the Israelite liturgy. God commanded that the curtains which formed the walls of the Tabernacle be made with purple and scarlet yarn (Ex. 25:4, 26:1, 31, 36, 27:16, 36:8, 35, 37, 38:18, 39:34). He commanded the tabernacle to have a ceiling made of ram skins dyed red (Ex. 26:14, 36:19, 39:34). He commanded that when they were being moved the table of the bread of the presence be covered with a scarlet cloth (Num. 4:8) and the bronze altar with a purple cloth (Num. 4:13). He commanded that scarlet yarn and wool be used in liturgical ceremonies (Lev. 14:4, 6, 49-52, Num. 19:6). He commanded that the vestments for priests be made with purple and scarlet yarn (Ex. 28:4-8, 15, 33, 39:1-8, 24, 29). If there was nothing sinister about the Israelites using these God-commanded colors then, there is nothing sinister about the Catholic clergy using them now. 2) the cup To make the whore’s gold cup suggestive of the Eucharistic chalice. The word “chalice” though the Greek word here is the ordinary word for cup (poterion), which appears 33 times in the New Testament and is always translated “cup.” The chalice is used in the celebration of the Lord’s Supper-a ritual commanded by Christ himself (Luke 22:19-20, 1Cor. 11:24-25)-and the overwhelming majority of the Eucharistic chalices Catholics use are not made out of gold, but of other materials, such as brass, silver, glass, and even earthenware. In the Old Testament it was commanded that gold liturgical vessels and utensils be used (Ex. 25:38-40, 37:23-24, Num. 31:50-51, 2 Chron. 24:14), and according to which the cup of the whore is not a symbol applying to the single city of Rome, but a collection of thousands of actual cups used in thousands of cities throughout the world. 3) throwing in this bonus: the contents the cup’s contents (“abominations and filthiness of her fornication”). The abominations and fornications the whore committed are either spiritual adultery, unholy political alliances, or the persecution of Christian martyrs (see 17:6, 18:6). They have nothing to do with the wine (and later the blood of Christ) found in Catholic chalices. Finally, the rest of the book of Revelation to helps interpret the whore’s cup. Elsewhere we are told that it is the cup of God’s wrath (Rev. 14:10, 16:9). God mixes his wrath in the whore’s cup, “mix[ing] a double draught for her in the cup she mixed” (Rev. 18:6). Again, this has nothing to do with Eucharistic chalices, and when interpreted in context fits either pagan Rome or apostate Jerusalem. Have a great day!! 👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽
Funny, the pope's ID was already printed on that check! VICARIUS FILII DEI adds up to 666 in the pope's language, Latin. 666 is the number of his name.
@@TIJoe-te9qu I dislike whiny Protestants who spend their time on our sites bashing our faith. . Their hate brought me back to the Catholic Church. I know how they bash Catholics. I went to their churches for 10 years never again
@Narrow Way To Life The apparitions of Mother Mary throughout history, coupled with the prophecies and revelations of the Saints over the generations, have predicted a lot of the things that are currently occurring in the Catholic Church. To Catholics who are well-informed regarding their faith, this is nothing new or surprising, because it has been long-predicted and prophesied. For example, during Her apparition at Akita, Mother Mary said "The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, and bishops against other bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres... churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord."
@Narrow Way To Life I think that verse is being taken out of context. The Chosen Mother of God is not to be overlooked. Her powerful intercession was evident at the Wedding Feast at Cana. She suffered with Jesus during His passion. She was there for Him at the hour of His death, and He gave her to us as our Mother while on the cross.
@Narrow Way To Life Mother Mary told Jesus there was no more wine. He did not want to perform a miracle. But Mother Mary's intercession led Him to do so. Also, where does it say that Mother Mary wasn't doing the will of God? Jesus said that "Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.” In no way does that insinuate that Mother Mary WASN'T doing the will of the Father. Lastly, I was living a life of utter sin. I even cursed God, regrettably. But God saved me from my misery, and through the intercession of Mother Mary and the power of Her Holy Rosary, I have never been closer to Jesus in my entire life. And I never in a million years would've imagined I'd ever be this close to Jesus. During my reversion, I studied the faith in depth...and I learned that, regardless of Martin Luther's Protestant movement that occurred 1,500 years after the Catholic Church had already been in existence, that the Catholic Church IS the True Church, and the Catholic Faith IS the True Faith. I realized that debating doesn't really go anywhere, so I just want to let you know where I firmly stand.
@Narrow Way To Life Biblical evidence corroborating aspects of the Catholic Church that most Protestants oppose: 1. Papal Authority: Matthew 16:18-19: "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”....There is also an unbroken line of Popes throughout history from Peter to Francis currently. 2. Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist: John 6:53-56: “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day, flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me and I in him." Furthermore, evidence shows that the earliest Christians actually believed that the Eucharist was the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Christ. Also, there are tangible Eucharistic miracles that still exist today that are unexplained by science. I highly recommend watching a video on youtube called "Inspired By Carlo Acutis - Scientific Evidence of Eucharistic Miracles." 3. Confession and absolution by a priest: John 20:22-23: "And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”...the apostles were the first priests.
@@captainnes8520 The Catholic Church itself never said "the mark of the beast was nero, so we don't have to worry about a mark of the beast in the years to come." The Church does, however, indicate that the mark of the beast will be in the end times at Christ's second coming, and those who do not take the mark of the beast will be persecuted.
I think there are many layers to Revelation. It may have been relevant in past times as well as future. If people are at a good place with God- confession, communion, prayerful, help others... then the end times doesn’t matter other than our own individual ‘end’. We are in a time where evil does have more power over the world. God bless.

I say be careful when you say "conspiracy theory " yes there are going to be people like the ones you described but not all of us labeled that way think the same.

This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666. -- Revelation 13:18
I’ve been reading Catholic history and just learned how the idea of purgatory came into the Church around 600 AD. It’s interesting, but doesn’t seem right.
They probably gave it a word. But purgatory has always been a teaching that they didn't think needed clarification. I believe purgatory is supported in the book if James?

Sacra Pagina. There are various authors on all books in Scripture. I love finding all of these sources! I didn't learn much of what I should have either when I was growing up in the 70's and 80's, 8 of those years in Catholic schools. I don't remember ever opening a Bible.
What did the Patristics teach about 666? Read what they said, especially St. Ireneaus, who was St. John the Revelator's disciple. You all missed a great deal in this episode but still love you guys.
Even if Nero was "the Beast", that doesn't mean that there will not be another "Beast". He's a "type", like Joseph, of the coat of many colors, was a "type" of Jesus. What about the "mark of the beast" being put on the forehead or wrist? That has never happened and couldn't have until now.
To be honest I don't get this view - "Nero, nothing to see here" - when pretty much everywhere in Scripture it has several layers/meanings, the "historic" just one of them. And here, agreed, it's very clear it hasn't happened fully yet. And not one Word of God will be left unfulfilled.
I agree. These guys are wonderful people, but they don't seem to realize that the beast of Revelation is the antichrist who is yet to come. Nero was a type of the antichrist.
@@stephencuskley5251 "And he (Collection of Papal clergy priests) deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs ( Catholic Antichrist miracles ) which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast (Antichristendom Papal Antichrist kingdom) telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast (image is idol (also image represents moral image of the worshippers in that they have been shaped into the image of an idol spiritually blind and spiritually cannot hear like an idol cannot see or hear) which is the Eucharist/Mass Wafer they believe through transubstantiation the bread literally becomes Jesus they turned bread into the worst idol of the ages. This is THE Abomination of Desolation spoken of by Daniel and Jesus in Matthew 24. 70AD destruction was a type of desolation but not THE Abomination of Desolation. Notice how Jesus uses the word THE basically he's alluding to the worst idol of the ages which is the Eucharist Mass Wafer) who was wounded by the sword and lived. (Rome wounded when it became Christian empire it was healed when paganism was revived under Roman Catholicism)" The word APOSTATE in the Greek equals the number of the beast 666 and APOSTATE is a name of a person and aka name of name of the beast. Specifically people would fall away from the true pristine church and embrace the doctrine of demons which includes the worship of saints, relics and sepluchres (e.g Church of the Holy Sepulchre) and (accept Antichrist idolatry that is setup in their heart so Antichrist spiritually rules from within the idolator's temple (their physical body). Thessalonians talks about the Great APOSTASY where people will become APOSTATE ------ Revelation 13:14 NKJV
Nero was never the beast. The mark is IN ,not ON, forehead or hand. This represents obedience in thought or deed to either Christ or Satan. This will take the form of obedience to the papal Sunday laws that are coming again, or obedience to God's true 7th day Sabbath. The pope is pushing the Sunday laws now.
CAN YOU SAY THIS WITH CERTAINTY?: Firstly, Thanks for your videos. They are very helpful in gaining more of an understanding on specific topics. I do have a question that I not only would like to ask you but I raise this question to everyone who may not be 100% certain about something but puts forward an argument as though it is the only truth. Can you - with 100% certainty - say this belief you have put forward about Nero etc is the definitive truth? And, can you say with 100% certainty that 'conspiracy theorists' are wrong? I think that if we are not certain about something 100%, it is risky to try and convince others of that uncertainty. Perhaps, and I may be wrong, we should all be open to all points of view on matters such as those in the book of Revelation. And, perhaps, if we work on focusing on our faith, all of these matter of the book of Revelation will all be known to us 100% (if we have faith) when God feels it fit for us to know. Perhaps, now is just not the time to know and that's why this book is so difficult to comprehend. Similar to the Old Testament whereby - prior to Jesus - the Jews did not fully comprehend what many prophecies meant until they happened. Perhaps we are in the same situation. This is a book of prophecies and if prophecies were to be clearly revealed, perhaps then, humans could manipulate the prophecies to either make them true or false in the end. But, to suggest 'conspiracy theorists' are completely wrong and to argue that you are completely right or vice versa, that seems to me to be something that may be a dangerous claim. By the way, it may seem like I didn't like this video based on my above comment but that is not true. I would love for this to be explained that's all.
@Narrow Way To Life If you’re going to lie about the Catholic Church, at least come up with some new material. That Scripture has been so twisted up by protestants to try to refute Catholicism, and it’s an accusation that has been answered hundreds of times over. 🙄
Guys I am sorry but I disagree with you on this. The mark of the beast is for every Era and simply means that if you don't agree with the ideology of the time, you can't "buy and sell ". It's not about Nero.
Are you guys saying that Revelation has nothing to do with us today? You're oversimplifying this message that John received from Christ himself about the future. It is not a message about what was going on right then. I find this video very misleading and concerning.
It's always nice to listen to you guys, especially while I'm driving to work. I always put you on my car radio before I hit the road to work. Thanks again
In addition to the numbers 666 and 616 pointing to Nero, it also points to the Roman Empire in another way. The first six letters in Latin (which are the only letters used to be able to write the numbers 1 thru 999) that are used to represent the numbers 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500 are IVXLCD. If you write those down from right to left as a Hebrew would then it’d be written as DCLXVI… which = 666. 😉😁
The beast Is the catholic church Which got it's power from the dragon which is Rome the anti Christ is the Pope In the mark is Sunday worship Which was Changed by the catholic church from the sabbath Saturday as their mark that they are above The bible
mark of the beast acts as a seal for the followers of Antichrist and the false prophet (the spokesperson for the Antichrist). The false prophet (the second beast) is the one who causes people to take this mark. The mark is literally placed in the hand or forehead and is not simply a card someone carries. You will not be able to buy or sell without it
Biblically untrue. The seal or mark is loyalty to God or Satan, via compliance with enforced Sunday laws, or obedience to Christ and his true 7th day Sabbath. That's exactly how the papal beast did it in the dark ages, and how it will do it under the image to the beast, this time with help from.the daughter whores who now embrace Sunday so fully.
I feel the Catholic Church misses the mark (pardon the pun) on this. For one, Revelation is believed to be written 68AD, the year NERO died..Does it make logical sense that God would have John write a book about what is happening in the present or past, especially when talking about the end of times..if this prophecy were so easy to decode,, then why would Jesus warn us to use wisdom? It's also a bit insulting to label those who ask questions and choose to consider what isn't always obvious, as "gnostic" or conspiracy theorists. As we have often see play out in history, today's conspiracies often become tomorrow's FACTS. Did you ever consider that theologians could be wrong? That they could not have imagined a beast system in terms of a futuristic AI surveillance new order that incorporates a digital currency system as part of this control? This is where the Church has failed and to me, this is not only naive, it's dangerous. To think that Revelation had to do with Nero is archaic and needs to be revisited. You guys are obviously out of the loop as to the capability of CRISPR technology, and the science of nanotechnology.

Mark of the beast is not Nero coins. It is a mark that will be put on your right hand or forehead. You will not be able to buy or sell unless you have it
I absolutely agree. The book of Revelation was written AFTER Nero died. The Church needs to listen to Vigano and start rethinking their archaic views about what Revelation may mean to us now.
I think that the beast with seven heads and 10 horns is the UN. The 10-horned kingdom of this beast is the 10-member, non-permanent lower tier of the UN's Security Council. The Bible describes this group of nations as being given power temporarily, which is a good description of this tier of the Security Council. The seven heads with the seven crowns is the permanent upper tier of nations of the UN Security Council. This body presently has only five member nations (England, USA, France, Russia and China), but two more nations can easily be added. And when the permanent Security Council has its seven members, that's probably when we've entered the closing years of this age.
The beast is generally used as a national symbol by many countries. In Revelation 13 John prophesies about superpower countries after the Roman Empire that the devil uses to make war with the remnant of the women's seed (Rev 12:17) The First Beast coming out of The Sea (Rev 13:1) It means The Beast just walks on the land.This country is on an island in the ocean. Looked like leopard,bear and lion (Rev 13:2). British Isles Kingdoms in the North Atlantic ocean after the Roman Empire from Anglo Sexon (With 7 main kingdoms) to UK used this Beast as Nasional Symbol. (E.g, Royal Arm of England Symbol) The Second Beast coming out of the earth (Rev 13:11) It means The Beast can Fly like a bird and This country is on a continent. The Second Continental Congress selected the Bald Eagle as the U. S. National Symbol on June 20, 1782. It had two horns like a lamb (Rev 13:11) = short-lived two-party system alternately sovereign. Causing fire to come down from heaven (Rev 13:13) = Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. (No country other than the U.S. has ever dropped fire from the sky so intensely and because of that other countries have become afraid.) The Image of The First Beast (Rev 13:14,15) = NATO (see how NATO was formed and how the U.S helped NATO members who were injured after the World War according to the Marshall Plan) The mark on their right hand or on their forehead (Revelation 13:16) = The mark of the beast is a badge on the sleeve or hat of a military uniform. The U.S. always enforces military service when in a state of war. The United States abolished the military service in 1975, but all male citizens aged 18-25 are required to register with the U.S. Selective Service System to facilitate reinstatement if necessary. They could not buy or sell unless they had the mark (Rev 13:17) = Money is a tool for buying and selling. The Mark of The Beast is stamped on Banknotes/Bill, especially on $1 prints of 1935. 666 in Roman Numerals = DCLXVI Out of Many, One = E Pluribus Unum. It can also mean "The United". The Name of The Beast. Revelation 13 _4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and _*_they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?_* That's how to worship the beast. It's all about beeing the Army and joint the war. _9 If any man have an ear, let him hear._ *_10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword._*_ Here is the patience and the faith of the saints._ At the time of the war the beast will impose military service and will imprison anyone who refuses. For the saints (The remnant of the women's seed) who obeyed Jesus' command not to kill, they would rather go to prison than go to war. To be in the army and to go to war is to receive the mark of the beast. The beast that came out of the sea in Revelation 13:1,2 was the three horns that fell in Daniel 7:8,20,24 www.theheraldrysociety.com/articles/why-three-leopards/ It was the leopard that John saw with long claws like a bear that could not be tucked away and had the face of a lion. The beast that came out of the earth in Revelation 13:11-18 was a little horn that grew big and had eyes and a mouth. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Seal_of_the_United_States In John's vision what is seen is the obverse of The great seal of US, while Daniel sees the reverse of The great seal of US. That's the Mark of the Beast.
The 10 horns are the 10 Dynasties that ruled over Great Britain. From the House of Normandy, the House of Plantagenet to the current ruling House of Windsor. In every horn there is a crown meaning in every dynasty there are kings who represent it in power.

Our Lady told Father Gobbi that the Book of Revelation is being lived in our time. Mater Dei said the Dragon symbolises Communism and the Beasts symbolise Freemasonry.
Your talk re "the meaning of 666" is enlightening but it made me to read again the book by Fr Chsrles Armijon: The End lof the Present World . God bless you.
Good discussion... This study is a very important study and it's a life or death issues.. Revelation is full ol symbolic which you need to identify each object to explain the whole contexts.. Daniel and Revelation are both Prophetic Book.. Pray that the Holy Spirit will guide us into it🙏
Of course. I forgot. Everybody knows that the Romans had to press coins onto their hand or forehead before they paid for something. Please explain that forehead thing to us.
Beasts in the bible are identified as kingdoms or Governments, shown clearly in the book of Daniel. To receive the mark would have to do with worship. So anyone who looks to government's to solve man's problems and not Gods kingdom would receive the Mark.
This video is very enlightening. Great work! I would say that some of the conspiracy theories surrounding the mark would be based in chapter 16 of Revelation. There is reference to sores being upon those that take the mark. Could be a video going deeper into that?
Catholic Father Luis Toro of Venezuela explains more in detail of who are the Antichrists and that the Bible says that they were among us but turned to other religions he quotes this from the Bible. You should check him out he has very interesting bible studies.
My grandmother who was from Germany was born on 06/06/1906 or as she would put it, the 6th day of the 6th month and the 6th year.. She thought she was blessed because of it until she saw the Exorcist. She got mad at my mother asking her why we didn't tell her what it meant. We spent the rest of her life apologizing to her.
The thing I've heard that seems to ring true about the Mark of the Beast is that several prophecy experts have agreed that it's something that changes the genetics of the person receiving it, as to render that person not a human being anymore. And since God offers salvation only to his creation, the mark therefore makes the person who receives it ineligible for salvation. This description of the mark mskes sense to me because of the final empire of end times that we are approaching, that of the feet of mirey clay on the statue of Nebechanezzar's dream. Chuck Missler has said that the feet of mirey clay mixed with iron, is the final world empire before Jesus' return.
The iron represent the pagan Roman Empire, and the miry clay are the ten Barbaric tribes that tried to overcome it. They failed, hence, they got assimilated in stead.
Great message guys but if I may add to what you’re saying: I think we often forget about there are many different messages for the same subject but too often we continue to remain on the subject of Europe rather than focusing on the Bible being a middle eastern manuscript. Many scholars either refused or denied the existence of the caliphates that existed; the last being the Ottoman Empire which received its “deadly wound” in 1923 when it was defeated. The Bible says; “five have fallen, one is and the other has not yet come but when he does he will be the 8th” So you have Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Greece, media/Persia to complete the five. Then, in John’s time you have Rome; #6. The one nation that took the mantle from Rome was the Ottoman Empire; #7. So in 1923 the Ottoman Empire was defeated, but research what president Erdogan of Turkey plans to do on the 100 Anniversary of its defeat; he plans to Resurrect the Ottoman Empire by 2023, making the 7th kingdom, the 8th kingdom. You can’t make this stuff up! God bless my friends! And God bless our one true church! Jeff
@@jeffandchrissiepimentel3761 oh wow! Another Catholic reading the Bible. Sylvia 1007 was referring to the dream King Nebuchadnezzar had seen as written in the book of Prophet Daniel. St Hippolytus of Rome started teaching about how to interpret it during his time though he never finished it because he was martyred. From his teaching, he implies continuity since the statue is one whole but of different materials.
@@placidopenitente656 yes! The dream the king had was a prophesy for that time but it also has significance of sorts to our time because those nations that persecuted Gods ppl in a sense has significance to what we are seeing today; every Muslim nation is a persecutor of Gods ppl then and now and it will be that way until the return of Christ! I was a Seventh Day Adventist for 45 years so I know very well what they teach! I really thought I knew my Bible but I knew nothing until I came home to the Catholic faith Protestants are so entrenched in this idea of Rome because Martin Luther and the other reformers either denied the threat of the Turks or felt that the Turks would be one ones to destroy the Catholic Church so the Protestants of that time supported Islam in every way possible. So much blame has been put on Rome for centuries, all at the driving of Islam! Did you know that Islam is actually Baal worship, the same that has persecuted Gods ppl from the very beginning? Did you also know that it wasn’t Rime that destroyed Jerusalem? It was the commanders of that time that ordered the soldiers not to harm the temple. The 10th legion was made up of soldiers from all over the Middle East, haters of the Jews Christians and wanted nothing more than to turn the place into an ash heap; of which they did! Jeff
or those that believe the mark of the beast is still to come. I personally disagree with them strongly on this point: they were very condescending about those who believed the mark of the beast is to come. They aren't the Church, so how can they say the mark of the beast was nero, and wouldn't be something in the future? The Church never said the mark of the beast was nero, and we don't have to worry about a mark of the beast in the years to come.
@@MouthwashTyphoon Check out on UA-cam the testimony of Dr Carl Sanders who was the first man to develop a biochip. Very interesting re right hand and forehead.
God didn't necessarily hardcode Revelation such that believers couldn't figure it out, but more so unbelievers couldn't avoid a road they were destined to travel (even unknowingly).
Bible scholarship believes Revelation was written during the reign of Domitian who would be the 11th emperor. Nero was the 5th emperor. Both depend on counting Augustus as the first. 7 heads could refer to Rome itself which had 7 hills. Interesting insights about the pantheon. Colosseum actually means “the place next the colossus” in reference to the atrocious statue of Nero. Its original name was the Flavian amphitheater. Not surprising the Christian’s were afraid of Nero considering he blamed them for the great fire causing sweeping persecutions.
I made a comment regarding Jn 6:66 A teacher, a priest Padre Luis Toro with wisdom confronting all protestansts Rejecting the true church, the bread of life, the saints, the Vingen, ect Said the meaning of 666 the enemy rejecting truth in the word and true doctrine. Too many had left the true body of Christ listening to other protestants specially you can see in John 6: 66 they leave Jesus not believing. Today looks like it represents all protestants in all the world God only has one church, time to confirm our faith that more souls won't leave the body of christ, of we want to leaving too. ??????????? No laughing matter, What are we going to do specially those who take care of the sheep, I am preparing myself, to protect me and my soul, and to tell all, what kill your soul is to become protestant, Jesus is clear you reject what gives eternal life.

I'm just curious: are you familiar with the "Antichrist" by St. Robert Bellarmine? I'm somewhat familiar with it and he seems to propose, based on scripture and writings of the church fathers, that Antichrist is yet to come. One of the things he addresses, just as you did, is that a resurrected Nero was falsely thought to be Antichrist. The purpose of his writing the work apparently was to demonstrate that the Papacy does not fit the Antichrist identity. He does, however, say some interesting stuff, addressing claims made by Protestant theologians, and even suggests who the 2 witnesses are!
Hi guys….. in Anzio, Italy as Father mentioned, there stands a large statue of Nero near to his summer house, now of course, a ruin. The Italians appear to be very proud of Nero. In a catholic country, and Anzio being not far from the eternal city, do you think Italians are unaware of just what a despicable persecutor of Christians Nero was?
I mean... I think we all know what the "mark" seems to be. It's either being flaunted, or the real deal. Either way, it only seems to be more and more apparent.
like, this is not that hard to figure out; we are given a prophecy with the expectation that at least some of it could be interpreted by your average lay person, otherwise, why even provide it? And no, it's not Nero, or any Roman, because they weren't destroyed by the Second Coming. Yes, only the Father knows the times and the seasons and so forth, but again, we were told the Apocalypse of John *for a reason* - the presupposition that people could understand some or all of it.
Many years ago working at Wal-Mart we had some Compact Discs with the list price $6.66. Customers complained. I also remember our President in 1981 Ronald (6) Wilson (6) Reagan (6).
Did any of you see the interview on here about King Charles being the supposed Antichrist. I told the author on that video he didn't understand the True teachings of Jesus. And he called me arrogant.
We also happen to live in times of even indelible marks on people's faces, when music stars and many famous people are showing off face tattoos - the trend can be setting the groundwork for the notion of marks on the forehead, which would normally be a barrier to the (1st) beast's marks... no one would get it just b/c they don't want to tattoo their face, but we don't seem to have that problem any longer.
The mark is that which is before you on the table. Idol has always being the rivalry of God light from the beginning of creation. Idol is that which represent imperfections, since the number 6 is incomplete, this means the number is all that represent imperfections and that is exalted idols of men.
There are to 2 marks, not one. The mark of God for those who worship the Son of God instead of the beast and whom refuse to worship the beast. The mark of the Beast whom claims to have the authority of God (a lie) and who sits at the seat of Authority.
I’d heard a much simpler explanation for the mark of the beast. That 666 is just an exemplification of the number 6, like you’d see three X’s instead of one to rate porn. The reason that 6 is the mark of the beast is that on the 6th day, God created the wild beasts of the world. But He also created man on that day and rested on the 7th. It is therefore the plight of man to move away from “6”, the beastly, or carnal, and move towards “7”, the holy and spiritual.
I grew up Southern Baptist, hearing all kinds of terrifying things about the end of the world. I had immense religious anxiety as a little girl because I thought I was going to have to face the beast. I converted to Catholicism three years ago, and this video is of much consolation to me, thank you so much
It's a consolation to you that you don't have to face the beast, but you now belong to the "church" whose leader _is_ the beast?? And this whole counterfeit Christian, Whore of Babylon "church" is going straight to hell. 🔥 And _that's_ a consolation?!?
Furthermore:
Blasphemous titles claimed for the pope have been embellished and enlarged over the centuries. But a few of these boastful claims appear in an ecclesiastical (Roman Catholic) dictionary, by Lucius Ferraris, entitled _Prompta Bibliotheca Canonica,_ Vol. VI, pgs. 438, 442, article "Pope." _The Catholic Encyclopedia,_ 1913 edition, Vol. VI, p. 48, speaks of this book as "a veritable encyclopedia of religious knowledge," and "a precious mine of information."
"The pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God, and the vicar of God."
"The pope is of such lofty and supreme dignity that, properly speaking, he has not been established in any rank of dignity, but rather has been placed upon the very summit of all ranks of dignities. . . ."
"He is likewise the divine monarch and supreme emperor and king of kings."
"Hence the pope is crowned with a triple crown, as king of heaven and of earth and of the lower regions."
"So that if it were possible that the angels might err in the faith, or might think contrary to the faith, they could be judged and excommunicated by the pope."
"The pope is as it were God on earth, sole sovereign of the faithful of Christ, chief king of kings, having plenitude of power, to whom has been entrusted by the omnipotent God direction not only of the earthly but also of the heavenly kingdom."
"The pope can modify divine law, since his power is not of man but of God."

"I am all in all and *above all,* so that God, Himself and I, the Vicar of God, have but one consistory, and I am able to do ALMOST ALL THAT GOD CAN DO . . . What therefore, can you make of me but God?" -Pope Nicholas, quoted in _Antichrist_ by Ian Paisley, pg. 54.
The pope calls himself God, i.e., "Lord God the pope," "another God on earth." "We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty," Pope Leo XIII said in an _Encyclical Letter,_ June 20, 1894. "The Pope is not only the representative of Jesus Christ, but he is Jesus Christ Himself, hidden under veil of flesh," the _Catholic National_ said in July 1895. And every priest is an "Alter Christus," Another Christ. So every priest is Jesus. Plus, during the Mass the priest transubstantiates the bread into the literal, "real presence" of Christ. In other words, man creates God. "He is the creator of his Creator." _-The Dignity and Duties of the Priest_ by Liguori, Ch. 1, Part IV. How is any of this _not_ blasphemy?!
Christianity teaches that the pope is the Antichrist. The proud pontiff's official title is Vicar of Christ, meaning "in the place of Christ." Vicar of Christ translated into Greek is Antichristos, in English Antichrist, also meaning "in the place of Christ." Vicar of Christ and Antichrist are the exact same word in two different languages. Vicar of Christ in Latin is Vicarius Filii Dei, meaning Vicar of the Son of God, or Vicar of Christ. VICARIVS FILII DEI. Add up the 11 Roman numerals and you get 666.

1 I . . . saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns . . . and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And _the _*_dragon (Satan)_*_ gave him (the beast) his power, and his seat,_ and great authority.
4 And _they worshipped the _*_dragon_*_ which gave power unto the beast:_ and they worshipped the beast . . .
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies . . .
6 And he opened his mouth in *blasphemy against God,* to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, *_Come out of her,_** my people,* that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities." Rev. 18:4, 5.

As a convert.. this is important because we former Protestants have a mindset that goes against what you were talking about. Even listening, my thoughts were… What!!! But we must know the truth. I must stop listening to Protestant shows that talk about the sign of the beast and the rapture. I am going to get Scott Hahn’s book. Jesus is coming back, but not the Protestant way. The way will be in truth.
I personally don’t believe in the Protestants view or their interpretation of the Bible, specially the book of Revelation. Their interpretation of the rapture and Christ’s one thousand year reign. I have always felt that way based on the teachings of the Catholic and the Orthodox churches, but specially after reading the messages of True Life in God that Jesus has been giving to an Orthodox lady called Vassula Ryden since 1985 to this day. The messages are mainly about the unity of the churches. It’s the most beautiful and profound book I’ve ever read in my entire life, listening to Jesus talking to us first hand. The Vatican examined her writings. First she was given a notification bc there were certain theological matters that needed to be clarified. Then the notification was removed.
For example regarding the rapture Jesus tells us in those messages that the rapture is meant in a spiritual sense, it is a rapture of the Holy Spirit that Cardinal Radzinger (when he was the prefect for the congregation of the faith) has talked about: the second Pentecost. One will be taken (raptured) by the Holy Spirit and the other will not.
Vassula has many videos on UA-cam on different topics from the messages that she receives. You can search for “Video of Vassula Ryden about the rapture”. The website is tlig.org.
@@margokupelian344 the protestants use the verse to defend their 'rapture' (Catholics indeed believe in a rapture, but at the end of time and Christ's second coming. People won't be 'left behind' everyone will be raptured: the dead and the living) "...one will be taken, and one will be left..." but they don't read it in context, because right after the disciples say "Where [will they be taken] Lord?" and Jesus responded "where the body is, there the vultures will gather." I think if I were a Protestant and believed that, I'd rather be 'left behind.'
I was like you too. I've learned so much from a book that takes Protestant view compared to Catholic teaching similar to what these guys are saying but takes in many other references in Old and New Testaments. Look for RAPTURE:The End Times Error That Leaves the Bible Behind. By David B. Currie by Sophia press. Forward by Scott Hahn.
Title is misleading seemingly but read the book cover for more.

*but specially after reading the messages of True Life in God that Jesus has been giving to an Orthodox lady called Vassula Ryden since 1985 to this day.*
Uh huh. I'd watch out for people claiming God is talking to them or receiving messages. We test those things by the bible. The very thing you seemed to have ditched to listen to this person.
*It’s the most beautiful and profound book I’ve ever read in my entire life, listening to Jesus talking to us first hand. The Vatican examined her writings.*
Reading the bible is listening to Jesus first hand not some woman allegedly receiving messages from Jesus. You want Jesus' true words, open your bible.
@Narrow Way To Life No. You are misinterpreting Sacred Scripture. The woman/harlot is Jerusalem, whose religious leaders were drunk on the blood of the first Christians, because they had conspired with the Romans to turns the Christians over for execution.

Catholic mystic Marino Restrepo explains the falsehoods and false teachings of the Protestant movement like 1) rapture 2) mark of the beast etc. This is because they have mis-interpreted it to mean earthly things. Scripture is spiritual not earthly/flesh related things.
1) Rapture...protestants think rapture is about people being taken up to heaven while alive while in a plane/driving etc. What it really means is at the end of your life - one will be taken to heaven. and one will not.
2) Mark of the beast. Protestants think this is about some microchip in their skin. Or some other device. What it really means is "Sin in your heart".
3) when they get some mysterious message from unknown people that theres going to be earthquakes/meteor strikes etc. In Egypt, when the Angel of the Lord came to take the first born - the first people to know about it was the hierarchy - Moses.

John 6:66 After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him.
Because they couldn't accept John 6:48-58.
Did you notice that where it says everyone left, the verse is 6:66... "666" I just found that interesting...
John 6:66 is the only 666 scripture in the New Testament. There are 666 scriptures in the Old Testament but they have to be combined with the scripture before it or below it to make sense. John 6:66 is the only place in the Bible that is a statement in itself. This is the only place in the New Testament where Jesus followers left him over a doctrinal teaching which was they must eat his flesh and drink his blood. Jesus didn't stop them or tell them he was only speaking symbolically. He let them go.
@Narrow Way To Life It is obvious that you have not read the Old Testament. Jerusalem is the "whore or harlot" mentioned in Revelation. This is mentioned in Isaiah 1:21 and Ezekiel chapter 16. As for the robes of violet, scarlet and gold, it is describing the robes of the Jewish priests as mentioned in Exodus chapter 28. Revelation 11:8 also gives a clue that the city is Jerusalem when it says, "Their corpses will lie in the main street of the great city, WHERE INDEED THEIR LORD WAS CRUCIFIED". Where was Jesus crucified? Jerusalem. Oh and by the way, Jerusalem also sits on seven hills. The Vatican sits across the Tiber River from the seven hills the city of Rome sits on. The Vatican sits on it's own hill...Vatican Hill, which is not part of the seven hills of Rome.
@Narrow Way To Life What I gave you is what scripture actually says not an interpretation of scripture as you are trying to give.We have to always take what scripture actually says because interpretations can lead people astray. Remember in Jesus day and later John the apostle, the only scripture was the Old Testament. Even in Revelation it mentions the "city where our Lord was crucified" which was Jerusalem. Revelation 18:20 also mentions "Rejoice saints and APOSTLES...God has judged her for the way she treated you." There is only one time in history when there were APOSTLES. In the first century, since a requirement for being an apostle was to see the risen Christ. The scripture you are using does not refer to the Catholic Church or the Pope. The Catholic Church does not worship the sun. We worship the son of God...Jesus Christ. Go back and read Ezekial chapter 16 and Exodus chapter 28.

@@loribothwell5493 thank you!
@Narrow Way To Life Good sir, your argument is riddled with holes. Nice try. I will point out two right now.
1)The colors:
Purple and red are not the dominant colors of clerical clothing. Black and white are. Consider the average priest’s “clericals” (black suit with white Roman collar); priests’ clerical garb is never purple or red, and for only a short time during the liturgical year do they wear chasubles with purple or red. But every priest wears a white alb at Mass. Even bishops and cardinals usually wear black. And the pope, of course, always wears white.
The purple and scarlet of the whore are contrasts to the white worn by the New Jerusalem, the Bride of Christ (Rev. 19:8). This makes two more problems: The clothing of the Bride is given a symbolic interpretation (“the righteous acts of the saints” 19:8) implying that the clothing of the whore should also be given a symbolic meaning, and the identification of the Bride as New Jerusalem (Rev. 3:12, 21:2, 10) suggests that the whore may be old, apostate Jerusalem-a contrast used elsewhere in Scripture (Gal. 4:25-26).
Another problem is that it ignores the liturgical meaning of the colors purple and red. Purple symbolizes repentance, and red honors the blood of Christ and the Christian martyrs-both of these things being noble, whereas in Revelation these colors reveal how ignoble the whore is.
It is entirely appropriate for Catholic clerics to wear purple and scarlet because these have been liturgical colors ever since ancient Israel. In fact, together with blue and white, they were the dominant colors of the Israelite liturgy. God commanded that the curtains which formed the walls of the Tabernacle be made with purple and scarlet yarn (Ex. 25:4, 26:1, 31, 36, 27:16, 36:8, 35, 37, 38:18, 39:34). He commanded the tabernacle to have a ceiling made of ram skins dyed red (Ex. 26:14, 36:19, 39:34). He commanded that when they were being moved the table of the bread of the presence be covered with a scarlet cloth (Num. 4:8) and the bronze altar with a purple cloth (Num. 4:13). He commanded that scarlet yarn and wool be used in liturgical ceremonies (Lev. 14:4, 6, 49-52, Num. 19:6). He commanded that the vestments for priests be made with purple and scarlet yarn (Ex. 28:4-8, 15, 33, 39:1-8, 24, 29). If there was nothing sinister about the Israelites using these God-commanded colors then, there is nothing sinister about the Catholic clergy using them now.
2) the cup
To make the whore’s gold cup suggestive of the Eucharistic chalice. The word “chalice” though the Greek word here is the ordinary word for cup (poterion), which appears 33 times in the New Testament and is always translated
“cup.”
The chalice is used in the celebration of the Lord’s Supper-a ritual commanded by Christ himself (Luke 22:19-20, 1Cor. 11:24-25)-and the overwhelming majority of the Eucharistic chalices Catholics use are not made out of gold, but of other materials, such as brass, silver, glass, and even earthenware.
In the Old Testament it was commanded that gold liturgical vessels and utensils be used (Ex. 25:38-40, 37:23-24, Num. 31:50-51, 2 Chron. 24:14), and according to which the cup of the whore is not a symbol applying to the single city of Rome, but a collection of thousands of actual cups used in thousands of cities throughout the world.
3) throwing in this bonus: the contents
the cup’s contents (“abominations and filthiness of her fornication”). The abominations and fornications the whore committed are either spiritual adultery, unholy political alliances, or the persecution of Christian martyrs (see 17:6, 18:6). They have nothing to do with the wine (and later the blood of Christ) found in Catholic chalices.
Finally, the rest of the book of Revelation to helps interpret the whore’s cup. Elsewhere we are told that it is the cup of God’s wrath (Rev. 14:10, 16:9). God mixes his wrath in the whore’s cup, “mix[ing] a double draught for her in the cup she mixed” (Rev. 18:6). Again, this has nothing to do with Eucharistic chalices, and when interpreted in context fits either pagan Rome or apostate Jerusalem.

I had a check in my check book that was 666, I used it for a donation to my church, Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Haha, good one!
Ignore the troll!
Funny, the pope's ID was already printed on that check!
VICARIUS FILII DEI adds up to 666 in the pope's language, Latin.
666 is the number of his name.
Of course you did. The devil walks hand in hand with you
@@lois2997 Are you always this nice to everyone?
@@TIJoe-te9qu I dislike whiny Protestants who spend their time on our sites bashing our faith. . Their hate brought me back to the Catholic Church. I know how they bash Catholics. I went to their churches for 10 years never again

Man this show is incredible. Everyone here is lead by the Holy Spirit, God Bless!
@Narrow Way To Life The apparitions of Mother Mary throughout history, coupled with the prophecies and revelations of the Saints over the generations, have predicted a lot of the things that are currently occurring in the Catholic Church. To Catholics who are well-informed regarding their faith, this is nothing new or surprising, because it has been long-predicted and prophesied. For example, during Her apparition at Akita, Mother Mary said "The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, and bishops against other bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres... churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord."
@Narrow Way To Life where dies it say that woman represents church?
@Narrow Way To Life I think that verse is being taken out of context. The Chosen Mother of God is not to be overlooked. Her powerful intercession was evident at the Wedding Feast at Cana. She suffered with Jesus during His passion. She was there for Him at the hour of His death, and He gave her to us as our Mother while on the cross.
@Narrow Way To Life Mother Mary told Jesus there was no more wine. He did not want to perform a miracle. But Mother Mary's intercession led Him to do so. Also, where does it say that Mother Mary wasn't doing the will of God? Jesus said that "Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.” In no way does that insinuate that Mother Mary WASN'T doing the will of the Father. Lastly, I was living a life of utter sin. I even cursed God, regrettably. But God saved me from my misery, and through the intercession of Mother Mary and the power of Her Holy Rosary, I have never been closer to Jesus in my entire life. And I never in a million years would've imagined I'd ever be this close to Jesus. During my reversion, I studied the faith in depth...and I learned that, regardless of Martin Luther's Protestant movement that occurred 1,500 years after the Catholic Church had already been in existence, that the Catholic Church IS the True Church, and the Catholic Faith IS the True Faith. I realized that debating doesn't really go anywhere, so I just want to let you know where I firmly stand.
@Narrow Way To Life Biblical evidence corroborating aspects of the Catholic Church that most Protestants oppose:
1. Papal Authority: Matthew 16:18-19: "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”....There is also an unbroken line of Popes throughout history from Peter to Francis currently.
2. Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist: John 6:53-56: “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day, flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me and I in him." Furthermore, evidence shows that the earliest Christians actually believed that the Eucharist was the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Christ. Also, there are tangible Eucharistic miracles that still exist today that are unexplained by science. I highly recommend watching a video on youtube called "Inspired By Carlo Acutis - Scientific Evidence of Eucharistic Miracles."
3. Confession and absolution by a priest: John 20:22-23: "And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”...the apostles were the first priests.
Looks like an interesting topic. Hope you brothers are doing well.
God Bless to your program Bother's and be safe. Amen!
Love Hallow and you guys are not idiots. Love your show.!!!!
just saw an updated ad for the Catholic talk show and it was AWESOME
Mental affirmation of Sunday worship not Sabbath.
I’ve heard this teaching before, it doesn’t hold up under scrutiny.
How so? Please do share.
@@captainnes8520 The Catholic Church itself never said "the mark of the beast was nero, so we don't have to worry about a mark of the beast in the years to come." The Church does, however, indicate that the mark of the beast will be in the end times at Christ's second coming, and those who do not take the mark of the beast will be persecuted.
I think there are many layers to Revelation. It may have been relevant in past times as well as future.
If people are at a good place with God- confession, communion, prayerful, help others... then the end times doesn’t matter other than our own individual ‘end’.
We are in a time where evil does have more power over the world.
God bless.
I love this topic. I always have a verse that kills the Protestant ideology with just the Bible.
It is also the verse that made me closer to Jesus because John 6:66
Everything these guys said is completely wrong. The mark of the beast is going to happen in the future. It is not about the past
@@camp5607 nope there is no verse on that. But there are verses that say that there will be many Antichrist or Maybe you’re talking about Jesus telling his apostles how will we know The signs of the end together with persecution.

Jhn 6:66 - From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
I say be careful when you say "conspiracy theory " yes there are going to be people like the ones you described but not all of us labeled that way think the same. Either way we should hear each others ideas and beliefs and have respect for them and yes go into scripture but also maybe even do some digging of your own into those ideas do some research to see how you feel but do not just dismiss those as conspiracies. I say this with lots of love and respect because there's already so much hate anger division and fear in these times and i just dont want to see more of that where it's not needed. God bless you all
This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666. -- Revelation 13:18
Hi from western Canada. 🇨🇦 Love this channel.
I’ve been reading Catholic history and just learned how the idea of purgatory came into the Church around 600 AD. It’s interesting, but doesn’t seem right.
it didnt, it’s been in the church since the time of Christ. the church fathers wrote much about purgatory before 600 www.churchfathers.org/purgatory
They probably gave it a word. But purgatory has always been a teaching that they didn't think needed clarification. I believe purgatory is supported in the book if James?
@@sabrinaantonioverita3061 Well said! I’m publishing a weekly UA-cam video on episodes from the life of Don Bosco, entitled ST JOHN BOSCO by JOE ZAMMIT. In this series I’m narrating events and miracles from the splendid life of Don Bosco. St John Bosco used to perform a miracle almost every day, through the intercession of Mary Help of Christians. From the lives of saints we can learn how to love God more and draw closer to him. Thank you..
@@your-oven-is-still-on1292 No Bible book supports purgatory. The whole concept is from paganism, like other pagan concepts that Constantine brought into Catholicism to encourage pagans into the church.
@@lois2997It is standard papal policy to brand anyone who dares point out papal errors as "heretic." Would you like to burn me at the stake, as the vicious popes did to other "heretics?" Such Christlike love!
The apocryphal books were questionable for this very reason. Purgatory WAS and IS a carryover from paganism. The papal crooks used it as a way to sell INDULGENCES, another unbiblical Romanist creation, to get loads of cash to build St Peters. No Bible study can verify a place of limbo where people rot until their sins are purged by a deposit of bribe money into the Vatican bank! Think about the absurdity of that! Buying God off with money.
Upon death, the non-immortal soul sleeps in the dust of the earth until awakening in one of the two resurrections.

Love your show! Could you tell me the name of the book Father was reading and the author? I’m almost 78 and learn a lot from your shows that I didn’t learn from reading other books and 12 years of Catholic school in the 50s and early 60s. ❤️❤️❤️
Sacra Pagina. There are various authors on all books in Scripture. I love finding all of these sources! I didn't learn much of what I should have either when I was growing up in the 70's and 80's, 8 of those years in Catholic schools. I don't remember ever opening a Bible.
There is about 18 volumes of Sacra Pagina.
Scheel seems impatient with delacrosse. Everone is wonderful. I look forward to each episode.
What did the Patristics teach about 666? Read what they said, especially St. Ireneaus, who was St. John the Revelator's disciple. You all missed a great deal in this episode but still love you guys.
John said 666 was the number of the pope. VICARIUS FILII DEI adds up to 666. 666 is the number of the pope's name.
Even if Nero was "the Beast", that doesn't mean that there will not be another "Beast". He's a "type", like Joseph, of the coat of many colors, was a "type" of Jesus. What about the "mark of the beast" being put on the forehead or wrist? That has never happened and couldn't have until now.
To be honest I don't get this view - "Nero, nothing to see here" - when pretty much everywhere in Scripture it has several layers/meanings, the "historic" just one of them. And here, agreed, it's very clear it hasn't happened fully yet. And not one Word of God will be left unfulfilled.
I agree. These guys are wonderful people, but they don't seem to realize that the beast of Revelation is the antichrist who is yet to come. Nero was a type of the antichrist.
@@stephencuskley5251 "And he (Collection of Papal clergy priests) deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs ( Catholic Antichrist miracles ) which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast (Antichristendom Papal Antichrist kingdom) telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast (image is idol (also image represents moral image of the worshippers in that they have been shaped into the image of an idol spiritually blind and spiritually cannot hear like an idol cannot see or hear) which is the Eucharist/Mass Wafer they believe through transubstantiation the bread literally becomes Jesus they turned bread into the worst idol of the ages. This is THE Abomination of Desolation spoken of by Daniel and Jesus in Matthew 24. 70AD destruction was a type of desolation but not THE Abomination of Desolation. Notice how Jesus uses the word THE basically he's alluding to the worst idol of the ages which is the Eucharist Mass Wafer) who was wounded by the sword and lived. (Rome wounded when it became Christian empire it was healed when paganism was revived under Roman Catholicism)" The word APOSTATE in the Greek equals the number of the beast 666 and APOSTATE is a name of a person and aka name of name of the beast. Specifically people would fall away from the true pristine church and embrace the doctrine of demons which includes the worship of saints, relics and sepluchres (e.g Church of the Holy Sepulchre) and (accept Antichrist idolatry that is setup in their heart so Antichrist spiritually rules from within the idolator's temple (their physical body). Thessalonians talks about the Great APOSTASY where people will become APOSTATE ------ Revelation 13:14 NKJV
Nero was never the beast. The mark is IN ,not ON, forehead or hand. This represents obedience in thought or deed to either Christ or Satan.
This will take the form of obedience to the papal Sunday laws that are coming again, or obedience to God's true 7th day Sabbath.
The pope is pushing the Sunday laws now.
I remember the Mayan Calendar end of world thing. Somebody found a Mayan shaman in Guatemala he said we just restart the calendar.

CAN YOU SAY THIS WITH CERTAINTY?:
Firstly, Thanks for your videos. They are very helpful in gaining more of an understanding on specific topics. I do have a question that I not only would like to ask you but I raise this question to everyone who may not be 100% certain about something but puts forward an argument as though it is the only truth.
Can you - with 100% certainty - say this belief you have put forward about Nero etc is the definitive truth? And, can you say with 100% certainty that 'conspiracy theorists' are wrong?
I think that if we are not certain about something 100%, it is risky to try and convince others of that uncertainty. Perhaps, and I may be wrong, we should all be open to all points of view on matters such as those in the book of Revelation. And, perhaps, if we work on focusing on our faith, all of these matter of the book of Revelation will all be known to us 100% (if we have faith) when God feels it fit for us to know.
Perhaps, now is just not the time to know and that's why this book is so difficult to comprehend. Similar to the Old Testament whereby - prior to Jesus - the Jews did not fully comprehend what many prophecies meant until they happened. Perhaps we are in the same situation.
This is a book of prophecies and if prophecies were to be clearly revealed, perhaps then, humans could manipulate the prophecies to either make them true or false in the end. But, to suggest 'conspiracy theorists' are completely wrong and to argue that you are completely right or vice versa, that seems to me to be something that may be a dangerous claim.
By the way, it may seem like I didn't like this video based on my above comment but that is not true. I would love for this to be explained that's all.
Well said! I completely agree with you.
@Narrow Way To Life WRONG! I've concluded you are a troll. Take your anti-Catholic rubbish and be gone!
@Narrow Way To Life If you’re going to lie about the Catholic Church, at least come up with some new material. That Scripture has been so twisted up by protestants to try to refute Catholicism, and it’s an accusation that has been answered hundreds of times over. 🙄
@Narrow Way To Life you are so full of it so arrogant to think you know everything. Go get the attention you need so desperately from your dog
Guys I am sorry but I disagree with you on this. The mark of the beast is for every Era and simply means that if you don't agree with the ideology of the time, you can't "buy and sell ". It's not about Nero.
These are very interesting points u bring up especially the part about how maybe its simply not our time to understand what the mark is.
Seeing idols on the table I could not complete the conversation
Are you guys saying that Revelation has nothing to do with us today? You're oversimplifying this message that John received from Christ himself about the future. It is not a message about what was going on right then. I find this video very misleading and concerning.
It's always nice to listen to you guys, especially while I'm driving to work. I always put you on my car radio before I hit the road to work.
Thanks again
Thanks for listening!
In addition to the numbers 666 and 616 pointing to Nero, it also points to the Roman Empire in another way. The first six letters in Latin (which are the only letters used to be able to write the numbers 1 thru 999) that are used to represent the numbers 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500 are IVXLCD. If you write those down from right to left as a Hebrew would then it’d be written as DCLXVI… which = 666. 😉😁
VICARIUS FILII DEI =666
The beast Is the catholic church Which got it's power from the dragon which is Rome the anti Christ is the Pope In the mark is Sunday worship Which was Changed by the catholic church from the sabbath Saturday as their mark that they are above The bible
mark of the beast acts as a seal for the followers of Antichrist and the false prophet (the spokesperson for the Antichrist). The false prophet (the second beast) is the one who causes people to take this mark. The mark is literally placed in the hand or forehead and is not simply a card someone carries. You will not be able to buy or sell without it
Biblically untrue. The seal or mark is loyalty to God or Satan, via compliance with enforced Sunday laws, or obedience to Christ and his true 7th day Sabbath. That's exactly how the papal beast did it in the dark ages, and how it will do it under the image to the beast, this time with help from.the daughter whores who now embrace Sunday so fully.
I love listen to your show . Learning my faith in a deep by way
I feel the Catholic Church misses the mark (pardon the pun) on this. For one, Revelation is believed to be written 68AD, the year NERO died..Does it make logical sense that God would have John write a book about what is happening in the present or past, especially when talking about the end of times..if this prophecy were so easy to decode,, then why would Jesus warn us to use wisdom? It's also a bit insulting to label those who ask questions and choose to consider what isn't always obvious, as "gnostic" or conspiracy theorists. As we have often see play out in history, today's conspiracies often become tomorrow's FACTS. Did you ever consider that theologians could be wrong? That they could not have imagined a beast system in terms of a futuristic AI surveillance new order that incorporates a digital currency system as part of this control? This is where the Church has failed and to me, this is not only naive, it's dangerous. To think that Revelation had to do with Nero is archaic and needs to be revisited. You guys are obviously out of the loop as to the capability of CRISPR technology, and the science of nanotechnology. The vaccine passports are not a myth or conspiracy phobia, it's a fact boys...(and I don't think a priest looks appropriate in this talkshow setting). Please don't be arrogant. That's counter to wisdom, to think YOU have it all figured out. .
Hi guys this is starting to be one of my favorite shows i would so love you guys to get Brant Pitre on the show man that would be the ultimate
Mark of the beast is not Nero coins. It is a mark that will be put on your right hand or forehead. You will not be able to buy or sell unless you have it
I absolutely agree. The book of Revelation was written AFTER Nero died. The Church needs to listen to Vigano and start rethinking their archaic views about what Revelation may mean to us now.
I think that the beast with seven heads and 10 horns is the UN. The 10-horned kingdom of this beast is the 10-member, non-permanent lower tier of the UN's Security Council. The Bible describes this group of nations as being given power temporarily, which is a good description of this tier of the Security Council. The seven heads with the seven crowns is the permanent upper tier of nations of the UN Security Council. This body presently has only five member nations (England, USA, France, Russia and China), but two more nations can easily be added. And when the permanent Security Council has its seven members, that's probably when we've entered the closing years of this age.
The beast is generally used as a national symbol by many countries.
In Revelation 13 John prophesies about superpower countries after the Roman Empire that the devil uses to make war with the remnant of the women's seed (Rev 12:17)
The First Beast coming out of The Sea (Rev 13:1)
It means The Beast just walks on the land.This country is on an island in the ocean. Looked like leopard,bear and lion (Rev 13:2). British Isles Kingdoms in the North Atlantic ocean after the Roman Empire from Anglo Sexon (With 7 main kingdoms) to UK used this Beast as Nasional Symbol. (E.g, Royal Arm of England Symbol)
The Second Beast coming out of the earth (Rev 13:11)
It means The Beast can Fly like a bird and This country is on a continent. The Second Continental Congress selected the Bald Eagle as the U. S. National Symbol on June 20, 1782.
It had two horns like a lamb (Rev 13:11) = short-lived two-party system alternately sovereign.
Causing fire to come down from heaven (Rev 13:13) = Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. (No country other than the U.S. has ever dropped fire from the sky so intensely and because of that other countries have become afraid.)
The Image of The First Beast (Rev 13:14,15) = NATO (see how NATO was formed and how the U.S helped NATO members who were injured after the World War according to the Marshall Plan)
The mark on their right hand or on their forehead (Revelation 13:16) = The mark of the beast is a badge on the sleeve or hat of a military uniform. The U.S. always enforces military service when in a state of war. The United States abolished the military service in 1975, but all male citizens aged 18-25 are required to register with the U.S. Selective Service System to facilitate reinstatement if necessary.
They could not buy or sell unless they had the mark (Rev 13:17) = Money is a tool for buying and selling. The Mark of The Beast is stamped on Banknotes/Bill, especially on $1 prints of 1935.
666 in Roman Numerals = DCLXVI
Out of Many, One = E Pluribus Unum.
It can also mean "The United".
The Name of The Beast.
Revelation 13
_4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and _*_they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?_*
That's how to worship the beast. It's all about beeing the Army and joint the war.
_9 If any man have an ear, let him hear._
*_10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword._*_ Here is the patience and the faith of the saints._
At the time of the war the beast will impose military service and will imprison anyone who refuses. For the saints (The remnant of the women's seed) who obeyed Jesus' command not to kill, they would rather go to prison than go to war. To be in the army and to go to war is to receive the mark of the beast.
The beast that came out of the sea in Revelation 13:1,2 was the three horns that fell in Daniel 7:8,20,24
www.theheraldrysociety.com/articles/why-three-leopards/
It was the leopard that John saw with long claws like a bear that could not be tucked away and had the face of a lion.
The beast that came out of the earth in Revelation 13:11-18 was a little horn that grew big and had eyes and a mouth.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Seal_of_the_United_States
In John's vision what is seen is the obverse of The great seal of US, while Daniel sees the reverse of The great seal of US. That's the Mark of the Beast.
The 10 horns are the 10 Dynasties that ruled over Great Britain. From the House of Normandy, the House of Plantagenet to the current ruling House of Windsor. In every horn there is a crown meaning in every dynasty there are kings who represent it in power.
You might want to take a look at the Vatican and it's lay out and where it sits upon.

Can you do a show on the reference to the number 40. So many 40 day references in the Bible. Thank you!
Iv also heard from Padre Luis Toro that 666 refers to john 6. 66 disciples that walked away. People who chose not to follow Christ.
You guys gotta get Fr Chad Ripperger on the show!
Our Lady told Father Gobbi that the Book of Revelation is being lived in our time. Mater Dei said the Dragon symbolises Communism and the Beasts symbolise Freemasonry.
Thank you for covering this
Your talk re "the meaning of 666" is enlightening but it made me to read again the book by Fr Chsrles Armijon: The End lof the Present World . God bless you.
That and The Spear of Destiny by Fr. Hermann Bernard Kramer.
King James Bible is the original God's word and Red Bible different from Original
Catholic church has different Bible
Thank you guys for this vid.
Good discussion... This study is a very important study and it's a life or death issues.. Revelation is full ol symbolic which you need to identify each object to explain the whole contexts.. Daniel and Revelation are both Prophetic Book.. Pray that the Holy Spirit will guide us into it🙏
Of course. I forgot. Everybody knows that the Romans had to press coins onto their hand or forehead before they paid for something. Please explain that forehead thing to us.
Beasts in the bible are identified as kingdoms or Governments, shown clearly in the book of Daniel. To receive the mark would have to do with worship. So anyone who looks to government's to solve man's problems and not Gods kingdom would receive the Mark.
This video is very enlightening. Great work! I would say that some of the conspiracy theories surrounding the mark would be based in chapter 16 of Revelation. There is reference to sores being upon those that take the mark. Could be a video going deeper into that?
Catholic Father Luis Toro of Venezuela explains more in detail of who are the Antichrists and that the Bible says that they were among us but turned to other religions he quotes this from the Bible. You should check him out he has very interesting bible studies.
My grandmother who was from Germany was born on 06/06/1906 or as she would put it, the 6th day of the 6th month and the 6th year.. She thought she was blessed because of it until she saw the Exorcist. She got mad at my mother asking her why we didn't tell her what it meant. We spent the rest of her life apologizing to her.
You mean _The Omen._ _The Exorcist_ did not mention 666, _The Omen_ did.
That scripture makes one hundred percent sense.
This is amazing story, keep going to tells the stubborn generation.
The thing I've heard that seems to ring true about the Mark of the Beast is that several prophecy experts have agreed that it's something that changes the genetics of the person receiving it, as to render that person not a human being anymore. And since God offers salvation only to his creation, the mark therefore makes the person who receives it ineligible for salvation. This description of the mark mskes sense to me because of the final empire of end times that we are approaching, that of the feet of mirey clay on the statue of Nebechanezzar's dream. Chuck Missler has said that the feet of mirey clay mixed with iron, is the final world empire before Jesus' return.
Where is this at the mirey clay
The iron represent the pagan Roman Empire, and the miry clay are the ten Barbaric tribes that tried to overcome it. They failed, hence, they got assimilated in stead.
Great message guys but if I may add to what you’re saying: I think we often forget about there are many different messages for the same subject but too often we continue to remain on the subject of Europe rather than focusing on the Bible being a middle eastern manuscript.
Many scholars either refused or denied the existence of the caliphates that existed; the last being the Ottoman Empire which received its “deadly wound” in 1923 when it was defeated.
The Bible says; “five have fallen, one is and the other has not yet come but when he does he will be the 8th”
So you have Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Greece, media/Persia to complete the five. Then, in John’s time you have Rome; #6. The one nation that took the mantle from Rome was the Ottoman Empire; #7. So in 1923 the Ottoman Empire was defeated, but research what president Erdogan of Turkey plans to do on the 100 Anniversary of its defeat; he plans to Resurrect the Ottoman Empire by 2023, making the 7th kingdom, the 8th kingdom.
You can’t make this stuff up!
God bless my friends! And God bless our one true church! Jeff
@@jeffandchrissiepimentel3761 oh wow! Another Catholic reading the Bible. Sylvia 1007 was referring to the dream King Nebuchadnezzar had seen as written in the book of Prophet Daniel. St Hippolytus of Rome started teaching about how to interpret it during his time though he never finished it because he was martyred. From his teaching, he implies continuity since the statue is one whole but of different materials.
@@placidopenitente656 yes! The dream the king had was a prophesy for that time but it also has significance of sorts to our time because those nations that persecuted Gods ppl in a sense has significance to what we are seeing today; every Muslim nation is a persecutor of Gods ppl then and now and it will be that way until the return of Christ!
I was a Seventh Day Adventist for 45 years so I know very well what they teach! I really thought I knew my Bible but I knew nothing until I came home to the Catholic faith
Protestants are so entrenched in this idea of Rome because Martin Luther and the other reformers either denied the threat of the Turks or felt that the Turks would be one ones to destroy the Catholic Church so the Protestants of that time supported Islam in every way possible.
So much blame has been put on Rome for centuries, all at the driving of Islam! Did you know that Islam is actually Baal worship, the same that has persecuted Gods ppl from the very beginning?
Did you also know that it wasn’t Rime that destroyed Jerusalem? It was the commanders of that time that ordered the soldiers not to harm the temple. The 10th legion was made up of soldiers from all over the Middle East, haters of the Jews Christians and wanted nothing more than to turn the place into an ash heap; of which they did! Jeff
Can you guys please do a video addressing the Controversial videos put out on UA-cam of Mother Theresa?
The twenty-five dislikes come from congregants of Pastor Jim Bob of 4th street Calvin's PenteBaptist Church
or those that believe the mark of the beast is still to come. I personally disagree with them strongly on this point: they were very condescending about those who believed the mark of the beast is to come. They aren't the Church, so how can they say the mark of the beast was nero, and wouldn't be something in the future? The Church never said the mark of the beast was nero, and we don't have to worry about a mark of the beast in the years to come.
Great topic 👏
I used look for the 666 on my head as a young child bc I thought something was wrong with me after being rather unruly.

Are a few Priests offering great knowledge on you tube.
So how does Neros face on a coin have anything to do with the mark on ones forehead or right hand???
Maybe the forehead and right hand are symbolic.
Roman slaves were marked on their right hand with their owners mark.

Check out on UA-cam the testimony of Dr Carl Sanders who was the first man to develop a biochip. Very interesting re right hand and forehead.
God didn't necessarily hardcode Revelation such that believers couldn't figure it out, but more so unbelievers couldn't avoid a road they were destined to travel (even unknowingly).

Bible scholarship believes Revelation was written during the reign of Domitian who would be the 11th emperor. Nero was the 5th emperor. Both depend on counting Augustus as the first. 7 heads could refer to Rome itself which had 7 hills. Interesting insights about the pantheon. Colosseum actually means “the place next the colossus” in reference to the atrocious statue of Nero. Its original name was the Flavian amphitheater. Not surprising the Christian’s were afraid of Nero considering he blamed them for the great fire causing sweeping persecutions.
So why is the Book of Revelations included in the Catholic bible and read at Mass?
?
I made a comment regarding Jn 6:66
A teacher, a priest Padre Luis Toro with wisdom confronting all protestansts
Rejecting the true church, the bread of life, the saints, the Vingen, ect
Said the meaning of 666 the enemy rejecting truth in the word and true doctrine. Too many had left the true body of Christ listening to other protestants specially you can see in John 6: 66 they leave Jesus not believing. Today looks like it represents all protestants in all the world God only has one church, time to confirm our faith that more souls won't leave the body of christ, of we want to leaving too. ??????????? No laughing matter,
What are we going to do specially those who take care of the sheep,
I am preparing myself, to protect me and my soul, and to tell all, what kill your soul is to become protestant, Jesus is clear you reject what gives eternal life.
Thank you for this great episode !
Ugh! There’s no “s” in Revelation! But there are 2, in Psalms and most people leave the “s” off the end.
Lord Jesus sorry for failures to pray enough for neighbors, for our entertainers…for our educators.for our clergy & religious.for our government.for education system.for our environment and for ourselves. Above all thank you for loving us despite our brokenness. TQ JESUS!
Tidak ada kehancuran, tetapi Tuhan menopang kita bangkit menjadi kuat dalam iman kepercayaan kita, ketika kita percaya dengan keyakinan kita maka Roh kudus bertindak di dalam hidup kita.
I'm just curious: are you familiar with the "Antichrist" by St. Robert Bellarmine? I'm somewhat familiar with it and he seems to propose, based on scripture and writings of the church fathers, that Antichrist is yet to come. One of the things he addresses, just as you did, is that a resurrected Nero was falsely thought to be Antichrist. The purpose of his writing the work apparently was to demonstrate that the Papacy does not fit the Antichrist identity. He does, however, say some interesting stuff, addressing claims made by Protestant theologians, and even suggests who the 2 witnesses are!
The New Testament also says there are many anti-christs.
@@janetwillson3502 yup. 1 john 2 says that anyone who denies Jesus is the messiah/christ is an antichrist
Hi guys….. in Anzio, Italy as Father mentioned, there stands a large statue of Nero near to his summer house, now of course, a ruin. The Italians appear to be very proud of Nero. In a catholic country, and Anzio being not far from the eternal city, do you think Italians are unaware of just what a despicable persecutor of Christians Nero was?
I mean... I think we all know what the "mark" seems to be. It's either being flaunted, or the real deal. Either way, it only seems to be more and more apparent.
like, this is not that hard to figure out; we are given a prophecy with the expectation that at least some of it could be interpreted by your average lay person, otherwise, why even provide it? And no, it's not Nero, or any Roman, because they weren't destroyed by the Second Coming. Yes, only the Father knows the times and the seasons and so forth, but again, we were told the Apocalypse of John *for a reason* - the presupposition that people could understand some or all of it.
Many years ago working at Wal-Mart we had some Compact Discs with the list price $6.66. Customers complained. I also remember our President in 1981 Ronald (6) Wilson (6) Reagan (6).
You are reaching now
nothing was proved in their discussion that 666 is not the POPE
It’s not the pope
Did any of you see the interview on here about King Charles being the supposed Antichrist. I told the author on that video he didn't understand the True teachings of Jesus. And he called me arrogant.
On about 25:39, the story told reminds me of the bible verse that even the devil serves God!
Will there be a Special show for 100k Subs? 🤔
We also happen to live in times of even indelible marks on people's faces, when music stars and many famous people are showing off face tattoos - the trend can be setting the groundwork for the notion of marks on the forehead, which would normally be a barrier to the (1st) beast's marks... no one would get it just b/c they don't want to tattoo their face, but we don't seem to have that problem any longer.
Please read true comment by Narrow Way below.
I just don't get phased by numbers. I've always had bad luck and nothing seems to get in the way of that. I even have a black cats.
Biblical numbers have meaning, it's not some crazy theory.
The mark is that which is before you on the table. Idol has always being the rivalry of God light from the beginning of creation. Idol is that which represent imperfections, since the number 6 is incomplete, this means the number is all that represent imperfections and that is exalted idols of men.

I want to buy the statue in the table. How can I buy them?
Thankyou for sharing. 👍👍🙏🙏
Revelation is a future book. John never wrote Revelation until after Nero.. you guys are Preterist.
There are to 2 marks, not one.
The mark of God for those who worship the Son of God instead of the beast and whom refuse to worship the beast.
The mark of the Beast whom claims to have the authority of God (a lie) and who sits at the seat of Authority.
I’d heard a much simpler explanation for the mark of the beast. That 666 is just an exemplification of the number 6, like you’d see three X’s instead of one to rate porn. The reason that 6 is the mark of the beast is that on the 6th day, God created the wild beasts of the world. But He also created man on that day and rested on the 7th. It is therefore the plight of man to move away from “6”, the beastly, or carnal, and move towards “7”, the holy and spiritual.
Fr. you got the pronunciation correct!
