The Roman Catholic Church would have you to believe that Lent is taken from the 40 days that Jesus spent in the wilderness, but is really the pagan rite of Weeping for Tammuz which God hates.

Today begins the first day of Lent, observed primarily by Roman Catholics, but we also see Lenten observances popping up in many Protestant churches, some Baptist churches and in the Church of England. The Roman Catholic Church advertises this is a time of great ‘fasting and repentance’ before the Lord, but did you know that Lent was taken directly from ancient pagan Babylon? The time you know as Lent began as ‘Weeping For Tammuz’, one of the many false gods of pagan antiquity.

“He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do. Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.” Ezekiel 8:13-15 (KJB)

The Roman Catholic Church would have you to believe that Lent is taken from the 40 days that Jesus spent in the wilderness, but as you will see, that is not the case. No where in the Bible do we see any command to the believer to observe a 40-day ‘period of fasting’ prior to the feast of the Passover. Please note the following 40-day periods in the bible.

  • It rained 40 days and nights: Genesis 7:4, 12.
  • Forty days after sighting the tops of the mountains, Noah set forth a raven and a dove: Genesis 8:6-7.
  • Joseph mourned the death of his father Jacob for a period of 40 days: Genesis 49:33 – Genesis 50:3.
  • Moses on Sinai for 40 days: Exodus 24:18, 34:28, Deuteronomy 9:9-11.
  • Moses pleads for Israel 40 days on Sinai: Deuteronomy 9:18-25, 10:10.
  • Canaan spied on for 40 days: Numbers 13:25, 14:34.
  • Goliath taunted Israel for 40 days: 1 Samuel 17:16.
  • Elijah fasted and journeyed to Horeb for 40 days: 1 Kings 19:8.
  • Ezekiel bore the iniquity of Judah for 40 days: Ezekiel 4:6.
  • Jonah warned Nineveh of judgment in 40 days: Jonah 3:4.
  • Jesus fasted in the wilderness for 40 days: Matthew 4:2, Mark 1:13, Luke 4:2.
  • Jesus was seen for 40 days after His crucifixion: Acts 1:3.

As you can see, no where does the Bible establish a 40-day period of fasting for the believer in either Testament, so just where does the 40-day period of Lent come from? It comes from the exact same place where Rome got the ideas for a confessional box, for robed priests, for a religious ruling class, it came from pagan Babylon! This is why in Revelation 17 and 18, we clearly see the Roman Catholic Church and its Vatican superstructure presented to us as MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, and THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS. The apostle John was shown the Church that Jesus shed His blood for, taken over and swallowed up by the counterfeit Roman church which was presented to him as Babylon! No wonder that all he could do in response was to stand there with his jaw hanging down, speechless.

 “So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.” Revelation 17:3-6 (KJB)

Mystery Babylon is not America, it’s not Islam, its not the New World Order. It’s exactly who the Bible says it is. It’s the Roman Catholic Church system. Now you know. Tell a friend.

Lent and the Weeping For Tammuz

In his monumental work on exposing the roots of the Roman Catholic Church, called “The Two Babylons” by Alexander Hislop, he tells us this about the Babylonian weeping for Tammuz and its connection to the Roman Catholic Lent.

“Whence, then, came this observance? The forty days abstinence of Lent was directly borrowed from the worshippers of the Babylonian goddess [Astarte / Ishtar]. Such a Lent of forty days, ‘in the spring of the year,’ is still observed by the Yezidis or Pagan Devil-worshippers of Koordistan, who have inherited it from their early masters, the Babylonians.

“Such a Lent of forty days was held in spring by the Pagan Mexicans, for thus we read in Humboldt, where he gives account of Mexican observances: ‘Three days after the vernal equinox …. began a solemn fast of forty days in the honour of the sun.’

“Such a Lent of forty days was observed in Egypt, as may be seen on consulting Wilkinson’s Egyptians.

“Among the Pagans this Lent seems to have been an indispensable preliminary to the great annual festival in commemoration of the death and resurrection of Tammuz, which was celebrated by alternate weeping and rejoicing, and which, in many countries, was considerably later than the Christian festival, being observed in Palestine and Assyria in June, therefore called the ‘month of Tammuz;’ in Egypt, about the middle of May, and in Britain, some time in April. To conciliate the Pagans to nominal Christianity, Rome, pursuing its usual policy, took measures to get the Christian and Pagan festivals amalgamated, and, by a complicated but skillful adjustment of the calendar, it was found no difficult matter, in general, to get Paganism and Christianity — now far sunk in idolatry — in this as in so many other things, to shake hands.

“Originally, even in Rome, Lent, with the preceding revelries of the Carnival, was entirely unknown; and even when fasting before the Christian Pasch was held to be necessary, it was by slow steps that, in this respect, it came to conform with the ritual of Paganism. What may have been the period of fasting in the Roman Church before the sitting of the Nicene Council does not very clearly appear, but for a considerable period after that Council, we have distinct evidence that it did not exceed three weeks. The words of Socrates, writing on this very subject, about A.D. 450, are these: ‘Those who inhabit the princely city of Rome fast together before Easter three weeks, excepting the Saturday and Lord’s day.’ But at last, when the worship of Astarte was rising into the ascendant, steps were taken to get the whole Chaldean Lent of six weeks, or forty days, made imperative on all within the Roman empire of the West. The way was prepared for this by a Council held at Aurelia in the time of Hormisdas, Bishop of Rome [514-523], about the year 519, which decreed that Lent should be solemnly kept before Easter. It was with the view, no doubt, of carrying out this decree that the calendar was, a few days after, readjusted by Dionysius.”

Source: The Two Babylons, by Alexander Hislop, second American edition, 1959, published in America by Loizeaux Brothers, pages 106, 107.

The Bible Warns Against Weeping For Tammuz

The false god Tammuz is mentioned in the book of Ezekiel. The prophet describes a vision he had, saying the Lord “brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the house of the LORD, and I saw women sitting there, mourning the god Tammuz” (Ezekiel 8:14). God calls the idolatrous practice of weeping for Tammuz a “detestable” thing, made even worse in that it was happening at the temple in Jerusalem. source

“He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do. Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these. And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD’S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east. Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose. Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.” Ezekiel 8:13-18 (KJB)

So while the Roman Catholic observance of Lent is not in the Bible, the false gods connected with Lent that Jehovah hated are certainly mentioned. God hates Tammuz, hates Ashtoreth, and hates anything connected to the sun worship observed by pagan religions. God hates them because they infected His chosen people, the Jews, who then worshipped these false gods in the groves. Baal, Tammuz, Ashtoreth, Astarte and Ishtar are all connected with pagan sun worship. Note that Lent is a movable observance, connected to and preceding the festival of Easter. Easter is celebrated on a day specified only by the Roman Catholic Church, and not the Bible, and is fixed based on the sun and the Spring or Vernal equinox.

As most of you know, I was a Roman Catholic for the first 29 years of my life, right up to the day when I met the Living Saviour Jesus Christ, and become wonderfully born again. If you are a Roman Catholic, I invite you to learn the truth about Jesus Christ, and what you must do to be saved.

The Origin Of The Pagan Practices Of  Lent And Ash Wednesday As Found In The Roman Catholic Church

According to the cult of Ishtar, Tammuz was conceived by a sunbeam, a counterfeit version of Jesus’ virgin birth. Tammuz corresponded to Baal in Phoenicia, Osiris in Egypt, Eros in Greece, and Cupid in Rome. In every case, the worship of those gods and goddesses was associated with sexual immorality. The celebration of Lent has no basis in Scripture, but rather developed from the pagan celebration of Semiramis’s mourning for forty days over the death of Tammuz (cf. Ezek. 8:14) before his alleged resurrection—another of Satan’s mythical counterfeits.

Hedge Fund Giant Ray Dalio Warns We Are Already Entering The Early Stages Of A Global Conflict That Could Soon Become A Full-Blown World War

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Author Ray Dalio Issues A Chilling Warning That The Current Chaos Around The Globe Is Part Of A Larger Struggle That May Soon Erupt Into World War

Bridgewater founder and billionaire Ray Dalio is warning that the conflicts now raging across the globe are not isolated events, but connected parts of a growing superpower struggle. What the world calls ‘geopolitical instability’ is actually the steady setup for the prophesied last days. Dalio warned this week that the globe is already moving through the early stages of world war, and that the conflicts now erupting around the world are not isolated crises, but pieces of a much larger military and economic struggle between major superpowers. On that point, he is exactly right.

“For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Matthew 24:7,8 (KJB)

Have you really been paying attention to what’s been going on around the world? Gaza lies in ruins, Iran lies in ruins, Lebanon is being reduced to rubble on a daily basis and the common denominator between those things is the nation of Israel. Add to that the closing of the Strait of Hormuz which enriches Russia by $270 million to $760 million on a daily basis. China is benefitting as well as they sit back and watch the United States spending hundreds of billions in an unwinnable war in Iran.

‘For today, that is most importantly that the US-Israel-Iran war is just part of a world war that we are in and that isn’t going to end anytime soon,’ Dalio said.

Dalio’s world war warning lies in how global alliances are forming, with a clear alignment emerging. He says China, Russia, Iran, North Korea and Cuba are broadly opposed to a bloc led by the United States and its allies including European countries, Israel, Japan and Australia. He pointed to United Nations voting patterns, treaties and economic ties as evidence of this division, suggesting these alignments are already influencing outcomes. According to Dalio, we are now at Step #9 on his 13 Step outline that shows the ramp up to world war. In his 2021 best-selling book, The Changing World Order, you can read his entire premise.

The 13 Steps That Lead To World War:

  1. The decline of dominant powers relative to rising ones
  2. Escalating economic wars such as sanctions and trade blockages
  3. The formation of economic, military and ideological alliances
  4. An increase in proxy wars
  5. Financial stress, deficits and debts increase, especially for the leading powers that are most overextended financially.
  6. Government control increases over critical industries and supply chains
  7. The weaponization of trade chokepoints
  8. Powerful new technologies for war are built rapidly
  9. Multi-theatre conflicts increasingly happen simultaneously
  10. Suppression of internal dissent, as loyal support for the country’s leadership is demanded and opposition to the war and other policies is squashed
  11. Direct military combat between major powers takes place
  12. There are big increases in taxes, debt issuance, money creation, FX controls, capital controls and financial repression to finance the wars. In some cases, markets are shut down
  13. Eventually, one side beats the other and gains indisputable control of the new order, which is designed by the winning side

Ray Dalio is not, to the best of my knowledge, a saved man, and neither does he invoke scripture is his warning to the world he gave this week. But I know this. I know that the entire world is now watching, and has been watching for some time now, the escalating events that absolutely do lead to world war. Think of what’s happening right now. Vice President JD Vance is in Pakistan alongside of Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, trying to finagle a satisfying conclusion to the war with Iran that, thus far, Trump has been unable or unwilling to obtain militarily even though he started the war in the first place. The world order is not merely unstable, it is highly unstable, and at this point it will take very little more to blow the whole thing sky high.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: As The War With Iran Goes From Bad To Worse, Suddenly First Lady Melania Has A Lot To Say About Jeffrey Epstein And His Files

As Iran Dominates Headlines, First Lady Melania Trump’s Epstein Files Statement Looks Like A Strategic Attempt To Flood The Zone

They did not roll Melania Trump out to ‘fall on the sword’ yesterday by accident. They did it because the walls are closing in, the Iran narrative is cracking, and somebody inside that machine decided it was time to change the subject before the subject changed them. So out of the blue, First Lady Melania gets in front of the mic to disavow Jeffrey Epstein and his files. Are you crazy, why?? If Hollywood made a movie about all this stuff, no one would believe it. Yet, we’re here on Day 2,216 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve.

“The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.” Proverbs 12:19 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Franklin D. Roosevelt, our 32nd U.S. President, is widely credited with saying: “In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.” Apply that to what First Lady Melania said yesterday in a move that no one saw coming, and you have all the ingredients for an end times conspiracy thriller. Only in this movie, everything is real. At the same moment this Epstein firestorm is reigniting, the administration is under pressure over Iran, military escalation, and instability tied to the Strait of Hormuz. Is it all going so badly for Donald Trump that this type of a catastrophic reset was needed? Apparently so. From the political fixed perspective, this is classic ‘flood the zone, split the headlines, and force the public to look in two directions at once’ messaging. When an administration is wobbling abroad, it often reaches for spectacle at home. This is not conspiracy theory, this is happening in real-time. So the question is on everyone’s mind today is who made her do it? Maybe nobody had to “make” her. Maybe lawyers told her more material was coming. Maybe advisers told her silence was no longer safe. Maybe the White House understood that a First Lady denial would generate exactly the kind of emotional, chaotic coverage they needed. But whatever the internal trigger was, this much is plain: the statement was coordinated, timed, and deployed for effect. My conclusion is simple. This was not confession, this was not courage, this was containment. It was an attempt to draw a hard line before the facts drew one for them. It was an attempt to redirect a dangerous narrative before it metastasized. And it was an attempt to create just enough noise, outrage, and confusion to bury the deeper question: what else is still coming out, and who inside Trump world already knows it? That’s the real story, and today we give you everything you need to know, from every angle, to help you make sense of all of it in light of end times prophecy found inside your King James Bible.

It’s time to get excited for the 2026 NTEB Camp Meeting Weekend this September, and if there was ever a time for God’s people to gather, get strengthened, and get serious about the work of the ministry, that time is now.

Now is the time to go, now is the time to witness, and now is the time to do all we can while it is yet day. This year’s missions-focused Camp Meeting will help you get there.
