The ‘Queen Of Heaven’ Worshiped By The Catholic Church Comes From Pagan Babylon And Is Not The Biblical Mary

If anyone would have asked me who the “Queen of Heaven” was, I could answer them immediately and accurately. The “Queen of Heaven” was the same Virgin Mary that I had been taught to to pray to and to seek salvation from all my life.

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Roman Catholic traditions of the “Madonna and Child” began back in pagan Babylon with the stories of Nimrod, Semiramis and the baby Tammuz.

Until the age of 30, I was your typical product of the Roman Catholic system. I had been sprinkled as a baby, received “first holy communion”, confessed my sins to a ‘priest’, and completed the Catholic sacrament of “Confirmation” all by the time I was in 5th grade. If anyone would have asked me who the “Queen of Heaven” was, I could answer them immediately and accurately. The “Queen of Heaven” was the same Virgin Mary that I had been taught to to pray to and to seek salvation from all my life. What I did not know, however, was that God in the Bible says that the “queen of heaven” is a pagan abomination that provokes Him to anger.

“The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.” Jeremiah 7:18 (KJV)

In order to attempt to staunch the flow of criticism Catholics receive about idol worship of mere humans like the biblical Mary, we were trained to tell people that “no, we do not worship Mary, we simply venerate her out of respect”. But for those of us on the “inside”, we knew different. We were taught to pray to Mary more than to anyone else, with prayers like this one:

“O Mother of Perpetual Help, grant me ever to be able to call upon thy powerful name, since thy name is the help of the living and the salvation of the dying. Ah, Mary most pure, Mary most sweet, grant that thy name from this day forth may be to me the very breath of life. Dear Lady, delay not to come to my assistance whenever I call upon thee; for in all the temptations that assail me, in all the necessities that befall me, I will never leave off calling upon thee, ever repeating: Mary, Mary. What comfort, what sweetness, what confidence, what tenderness fills my soul at the sound of thy name, at the very thought of thee! I give thanks to our Lord, who for my sake hath given thee a name so sweet, so lovable, so mighty. But I am not content merely to speak thy name; I would utter it for very love of thee; it is my desire that love should ever remind me to name thee, Mother of Perpetual Help.” source

If you think that saying something like that is not worship or prayer, you are highly deceived. That was just one of dozens of Vatican-approved prayers to Mary. Catholic schools and churches love to place statues of the Virgin Mary and the Baby Jesus in the classrooms and chapels. Everywhere you go, there the Madonna and Child appear before you like an apparition. But as I got older, I discovered statues like that did not have the beginnings with Mary and Jesus, not even close. The Roman Catholic traditions of the “Madonna and Child” began back in pagan Babylon with the stories of Nimrod, Semiramis and the baby Tammuz.

In his excellent book, Babylon Mystery Religion, author Ralph Woodrow shows us where the Roman Catholic “Mother and Child” worship came from.

Nimrod, the mighty hunter before (against) the Lord, was the first to organize cities into a kingdom under human rule, Genesis 10:8-10.  This much we know from the Bible.  The name Nimrod comes from the word, marad, meaning “he rebelled.”  Legend has it that Nimrod married his own mother, Semiramis.  After Nimrod died, Semi­ramis claimed Nimrod was the sun-god.  She later had a child, Tammuz, whom she claimed was Nimrod reborn, supernaturally conceived, the promised seed, the “savior.”  Semiramis developed a religion of mother and child worship.  Symbols were used to develop a “mystery” religion.  Since Nimrod was believed to be the sun-god (Baal), fire was considered his earthly representation.  In other forms, Nimrod was symbolized by sun images, fish, trees, pillars, and animals.  Tammuz, son of the sun-god, was represented by the golden calf.  And so it was, that mankind followed this religion of worshipping the creation (creature) rather than the Creator, Romans 1:21-26.

Mary is crying before Jesus Christ because Catholics keep Worshiping her:

Rome, the greatest and longest-lived human world-ruling empire, assimilated religions from her many conquered territories.  All these religions had commonalities, for they all came from Babylon.  These practices infiltrated and overcame the professing Christian Church, which later came to be dominated by Rome itself. Many pagan religions had mother and child worship, whether Devaki and Krishna (India), Isis and Horus (Egypt), Venus or Fortuna and Jupiter (Rome), etc.  Each nation gave different names to essentially the same god or goddess.

A mother goddess, or “queen of heaven,” was said to have given miraculous birth to a son.  Ancient Israel sometimes followed this false religion, Judges 2:13, 10:6; I Samuel 7:3-4, 12:10; I Kings 11:5; II Kings 23:13; Jeremiah 44:17-19, with disastrous results.  In Ephesus, Semiramis was worshipped as the great mother Diana, the many-breasted goddess.  This form of mother-child worship was followed throughout all Asia and the world, Acts 19:27.

Pope Francis Entrusts the World to the “Immaculate Heart of Mary”:

Mary worship had no place in the early Christian Church.  Even the Catholic Encyclo­pedia (article, “Virgin Mary,” pp. 459-460) admits that in the first centuries, A.D., there are no traces of the worship of Mary.  By the fourth century, the time of Emperor Con­stan­tine, wor­ship­ping Mary as a goddess and offering cakes at her shrine, began to come into the professing Church.  In A.D. 431, the Council of Ephesus made Mary worship official.  By mixing beliefs already being practiced (Diana of Ephesus worshipped as a goddess) with nominal Christianity, so-called Church “fathers” reasoned that they could gain more converts.  It is the same old story.  Apostates believe that lowering God’s standards results in a better form of religion, more acceptable and popular to the masses.

The Bible is clear that there is only one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus, I Timothy 2:5.  Yet Roman Catholicism teaches that Mary is also a “mediator.”  Catholics offer prayers to Mary, burn candles to Mary, and have statues of Mary, which came directly from their pagan counterparts.  Isis, the Egyptian goddess, was known as “mother of God,” just as Mary is titled by Catholics.  Weigall, in The Paganism in Our Christianity, page 129, says, “When Christianity triumphed, these paintings and figures became those of the madonna and child, without any break in continuity: no archaeologist, in fact, can now tell whether some of these objects represent the one or the other.”

WHY ARE CATHOLICS UNABLE TO ADMIT THAT, YES, THEY DO PRAY TO MARY?

Part of our Catholic training was learning how to pray to the Virgin Mary. Statues of Mary were everywhere you looked, we were taught about the many apparitions of Mary around the world, celebrated Mary on May Day, and gave her the top spot in our thoughts and devotions. St. Mary’s school and Roman Catholic Church taught us these things by order of the Vatican.

In pagan religion, the mother was worshipped as much (or more) than her son!  Noted Roman Catholic writer Alphonsus Liguori stressed that prayers addressed to Mary are much more effectual than to Christ.  Mary is deified as the “queen of heaven,” born without sin (Immaculate Conception), the “mother of God,” exactly as pagan worshippers deified Isis, Venus, Ashtoreth, etc.  Jesus did not teach that Mary was superior to other human beings.  When someone mentioned His mother and brethren, Jesus asked, “Who is My mother? and who are My brethren?”  Then, stretching forth His hand toward His disciples, He said, “Behold My mother and My brethren!  For WHOSOEVER shall do the will of My Father which is in heaven, the same is My brother, and sister, and MOTHER,” Matthew 12:46-50.  Anyone who does the will of God is on the same level as Mary.

Closely associated with praying to Mary is the rosary, a chain of fifteen sets of small beads, marked off by one large bead.  The ends of the chain are joined by a medal with an imprint of Mary, from which hangs a short chain with a crucifix at the end.  The use of prayer-counters or rosary beads is an almost universal custom in pagan religion.  From Nineveh to India to China, beads were used as a part of worship.  The Phoenicians used a circle of beads resembling a rosary in the worship of Astarte, the mother goddess, as early as 800 B.C.  Francis Xavier was astonished to see that rosaries were universally familiar to the Buddhists of Japan.

The main prayer of the rosary is the “Hail Mary.”  The complete rosary repeats the Hail Mary 53 times, the Lord’s Prayer 6 times, and several other recitations.  The Hail Mary combines the statement of the angel about Mary from the Bible with unscriptural blasphemy, “Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; Blessed art thou among women Jesus [a loose translation of Luke 1:28], and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.  Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of death, Amen.”  Mary was not the mother of God, she was not holy, she was a righteous woman who is dead in her grave, waiting for the resurrection to eternal life, with all the other dead in Christ.

The Catholic Encyclopedia says, “There is little or no trace of the Hail Mary as an accepted devotional formula before about 1050,” article “Hail Mary,” p. 111.  Jesus instructs us not to use vain repetitions when we pray, Matthew 6:7-8.  The so-called “Lord’s Prayer” verses 9-13, was a model prayer, not a prayer to be monotonously repeated.  Jesus said in effect “pray thus” (after this manner therefore pray ye), not “pray this.”  Prayer should be spontaneous, not rote memory with no heart-felt meaning.

Now you know where the idea of Mary worship comes from, because it certainly is not in the Bible.

There is not one verse of scripture in the entire Bible that would give any weight at all to praying to Mary, worshipping Mary, or placing Mary in any position of prominence at all. The book of Acts shows that Mary is in the Upper Room on the day of Pentecost, but merely as a silent witness. No one asks her anything, and she offers no comments of any kind. Rather strange, don’t you think, considering the exalted position afforded her by the Catholic church?

“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.” Revelation 18:4 (KJV)

The Roman Catholic Church is the prophesied Whore of Babylon found in chapters 17 and 18 in the book of Revelation. It is a system that God hates, and will one day destroy during the time of Jacob’s trouble. The Lord saved me back in 1990, and pulled me out of this false system. He will do the same for you if you desire to know the truth.

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 (KJV)

THE BIBLE BELIEVERS SUNDAY SERVICE: What Is Biblical Christianity?

Biblical Christianity Stands Alone As The Blood-Bought Faith Once Delivered To The Saints While Rome, Mormonism And The Watchtower Preach Another Gospel

Biblical Christianity is not a religion built by councils, popes, prophets, publishing houses, temple ordinances, or denominational machinery. Biblical Christianity is the blood-bought faith once delivered unto the saints, anchored in the preserved words of God, centered on the Lord Jesus Christ, and sealed by the gospel of the grace of God. It begins with man as a lost, hell-bound sinner and ends with the only Saviour who can redeem him: Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, crucified, buried, risen again, and coming back. Everything else is either Bible truth or religious counterfeit. Today we compare biblical Christianty with the top 3 religious organizations to see how they stack up.

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6 (KJB)

What separates Biblical Christianity from every man-made system is that it does not ask the sinner to climb a ladder of works, sacraments, ordinances, priestcraft, church membership, or organizational obedience. It points him to a finished cross, an empty tomb, a risen Saviour, and an open Bible. The Roman system adds tradition and sacramental control; Mormonism adds another gospel and another authority; the Watchtower gives you another Jesus altogether. But the Bible gives you Christ alone, by grace alone, through faith alone — “the way, the truth, and the life” — and no man cometh unto the Father, but by him.

SUNDAY SERVICE STUDY NOTES: What Is Biblical Christianity?

What Is Biblical Christianity?

Biblical Christianity stands or falls on the person of Jesus Christ, the authority of the written word of God, and salvation by grace through faith apart from works.

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8,9 (KJB)

When comparing any religious system to biblical Christianity, we ask four simple questions:

  1. Who is Jesus Christ?
  2. What is the final authority?
  3. How is a sinner saved?
  4. What gospel is being preached?

I. Biblical Christianity

The Final Authority Is The Written Word Of God

Biblical Christianity receives the Scriptures as the final authority, not church tradition, modern prophets, councils, popes, Watchtower publications, or additional books.

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:16 (KJB)

Jesus Christ Is God Manifest In The Flesh

“For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” Colossians 2:9 (KJB)

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1 (KJB)

Biblical Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ is not a created being, not the spirit brother of Lucifer, not Michael the archangel, and not merely one mediator among many. He is God manifest in the flesh. Please read our excellent article on the biblical nature of the Godhead.

Salvation Is By Grace Through Faith, Not Religious Works

“But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” Romans 4:5 (KJB)

“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us,” Titus 3:5 (KJB)

The sinner is saved by trusting the finished blood atonement of Jesus Christ, not by sacraments, temple ordinances, baptismal regeneration, organizational loyalty, or personal merit.

II. Biblical Christianity Versus The Roman Catholic Church

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” 1 Timothy 2:5 (KJB)

The Roman Catholic Church teaches many things about Jesus Christ, the Trinity, and the Bible that sound familiar to biblical Christianity, but it departs from Scripture by placing church authority, sacramental grace, priesthood, Mary, and tradition in positions the Bible does not give them.

The Vatican’s Catechism teaches that there are seven sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony; it says these sacraments “touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life.” The Catechism also calls the Eucharist “the source and summit of the Christian life.”

Difference In Authority

  • Biblical Christianity: Scripture is the final authority.
  • Roman Catholicism: Scripture is interpreted through the authority of the Roman Catholic Church, its traditions, councils, priesthood, and papal office.

The issue is not whether Roman Catholicism mentions the Bible. It does. The issue is whether the Bible is final, sufficient, and superior to church tradition.

Difference In Salvation

  • Biblical Christianity: A sinner is justified by faith in Christ apart from works.

“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:” Romans 5:1 (KJB)

  • Roman Catholicism: Grace is connected to the sacramental system, including baptism, confession, penance, Eucharist, and final perseverance within the Roman Catholic Church. Biblically, salvation is not dispensed through a priest, a wafer, a confessional booth, or a religious system. It is received by faith in the finished work of Christ.

Difference In Mediation

  • Biblical Christianity: One mediator: Jesus Christ.

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” 1 Timothy 2:5 (KJB)

  • Roman Catholicism: Though it confesses Christ, it also places priests, Mary, saints, and sacramental ministry in mediating roles that Scripture never assigns to them Roman Catholicism is not biblical Christianity with extra ceremony. It is a sacramental religious system that mixes Christ, church, priesthood, tradition, and works.

Are you resting in Christ alone, or in Christ plus church membership, plus sacraments, plus confession, plus penance, and plus religious performance? If Christ’s work on the cross was finished, then nothing needs to be added to it.

“When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished:” John 19:30 (KJB)

III. Biblical Christianity Versus Mormonism

“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:8 (KJB)

Mormonism, officially The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, uses biblical language, speaks of Jesus Christ, and presents itself as Christian, but its doctrine of God, Jesus Christ, Scripture, salvation, and eternal destiny is radically different from biblical Christianity.

The LDS Church’s own teaching materials present the idea of a “restoration” and include additional scriptures and modern prophetic authority alongside the Bible. Its Gospel Principles manual includes chapters on “Prophets of God,” “Scriptures,” “The Church of Jesus Christ Today,” “Temple Work and Family History,” “Eternal Marriage,” and “Exaltation.” LDS materials define exaltation as the highest state of glory and connect it with man’s potential to become like Heavenly Father.

Difference In Authority

  • Biblical Christianity: The Bible is sufficient.
  • Mormonism: The Bible is joined with the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price, and continuing prophetic revelation.

That is a major divide. Biblical Christianity does not need a later “restoration” because the faith was once delivered.

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” Jude 1:3 (KJB)

Difference In The Nature Of God

  • Biblical Christianity: There is one eternal God.

“Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.” Psalm 90:2 (KJB)

  • Mormonism: God is understood in a way that allows for exaltation, eternal progression, and humans becoming like God. LDS materials describe becoming like God as central to their gospel understanding.

Difference In Jesus Christ

  • Biblical Christianity: Jesus Christ is the eternal Word, God manifest in the flesh.

“And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.” John 20:28 (KJB)

  • Mormonism: Jesus is honored, but Mormon doctrine places Him within a broader framework of premortal existence, heavenly parents, spirit children, exaltation, and restored temple ordinances that is foreign to the Bible.

Difference In Salvation And Eternal Life

  • Biblical Christianity: Salvation is a free gift by grace through faith.
  • Mormonism: Full exaltation is connected to faith, repentance, baptism, receiving the Holy Ghost, obedience, temple ordinances, and eternal marriage.

Biblical Christianity says the believer is complete in Christ.

“And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:” Colossians 2:10 (KJB)

Mormonism is not merely another Christian denomination. It is another gospel with another authority structure, another view of God, and another view of eternal destiny. Is your faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ, or in a restored church, modern prophets, temple ordinances, and becoming exalted?

The biblical gospel does not need to be restored by Joseph Smith. It needs to be believed.

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved,” 1 Corinthians 15:1,2 (KJB)

Biblical Christianity Versus Jehovah’s Witnesses

“For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached,” 2 Corinthians 11:4 (KJB)

Jehovah’s Witnesses use Bible terminology, speak much about Jehovah, and are known for door-to-door evangelism, but they deny core biblical Christianity by rejecting the deity of Jesus Christ, denying the Trinity, altering the doctrine of salvation, and submitting Scripture to Watchtower interpretation.

Jehovah’s Witness teaching identifies Jesus Christ as Michael the archangel; JW.org says Jesus has “an archangel’s voice” because “he is the archangel, Michael.” Watchtower material also states, “Jesus Christ is Michael the archangel.”

Difference In Jesus Christ

  • Biblical Christianity: Jesus Christ is God.

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 (KJB)

  • Jehovah’s Witnesses: Jesus is not Almighty God, but a created being identified as Michael the archangel. That is not a small ‘doctrinal disagreement’. That is another Jesus.

Difference In The Godhead

  • Biblical Christianity: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are one God.

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” 1 John 5:7 (KJB)

  • Jehovah’s Witnesses: They reject the Trinity and deny the full deity of Jesus Christ and the personhood of the Holy Ghost.

Difference In Salvation

  • Biblical Christianity: Salvation is by grace through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.

“In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:” Colossians 1:14 (KJB)

  • Jehovah’s Witnesses: Salvation is connected to association with Jehovah’s organization, endurance, obedience, and works. Biblically, good works follow salvation; they do not purchase it.

Difference In Final Destiny

  • Biblical Christianity: The saved are with Christ, and the lost face real judgment.

“And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:15 (KJB)

  • Jehovah’s Witnesses: They teach a distinction involving the 144,000 and an earthly hope for others, along with rejection of eternal conscious punishment as historically taught in biblical Christianity. Jehovah’s Witnesses do not simply have a different translation or a different denominational structure. They preach another Jesus.

Is Jesus Christ your Lord and your God, or merely an exalted creature? A created Jesus cannot save sinners. Only the eternal Son of God can redeem by His blood.

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 (KJB)

A sinner does not need Rome’s sacraments, Joseph Smith’s restoration, or the Watchtower’s organization. A sinner needs the Lord Jesus Christ, His shed blood, and the gospel of the grace of God.

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,” Acts 16:31 (KJB)

How Roman Catholic Fulfillment Theology Replaces Israel’s Literal Prophetic Future With A Spiritualized ‘Church System’ That The Bible Never Teaches

Fulfillment Theology Versus Dispensational Truth Shows The Critical Difference Between Spiritualizing Israel And Rightly Dividing Scripture

Fulfillment theology is the belief that the promises, prophecies, covenants, and kingdom expectations in the Old Testament are “fulfilled” in Jesus Christ and, often, in the Church. In simple terms, it teaches that many things God promised to Israel are now spiritually fulfilled in Christ and the Church, rather than requiring a future, literal fulfillment for national Israel. But the danger is that Fulfillment Theology can become a softer, more polished version of Replacement Theology. It may avoid saying “the Church replaced Israel,” but it still spiritualizes Israel’s land, kingdom, throne, and national restoration promises into the Church. That is absolutely not what the Bible teaches.

“He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.” Luke 1:32,33 (KJB)

God promised Israel a land, a kingdom, a throne, and national restoration. Fulfillment theology may say those promises are fulfilled spiritually in Christ and His people today. But the Bible says those promises still await literal fulfillment for Israel in the future kingdom. Fulfillment theology says that Israel’s promises are fulfilled in Christ and the Church. Dispensational theology says that Christ fulfills prophecy, but God’s literal promises to Israel remain intact and will be fulfilled in Israel, while the Church has its own distinct heavenly calling in this present dispensation. We see these things when we follows Paul’s command in 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJB) to ‘rightly divide’ the scriptures. If you don’t have a King James Bible, then it doesn’t say that in your bible because the Greek and Hebrew ‘scholars” removed it so you wouldn’t know to do it. This is why we stick with the God-honored King James Authorzied Version Holy Bible.

The Main Biblical Differences Between Fulfillment Theology And Dispensational Theology

“Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:” 1 Corinthians 10:32 (KJB)

The Bible recognizes three distinct classes of people in God’s dealings: the Jews, the Gentiles, and the church of God. Fulfillment theology tends to merge those distinctions by teaching that Israel’s promises are fulfilled spiritually in Christ and the Church. Dispensational theology rightly divides the word of truth and keeps God’s promises to Israel, the Church, and the nations in their proper biblical places. These three groups are not the same, they never were the same, and they will never be the same.

I. The Difference In How Each System Views Israel

“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.” Romans 11:25 (KJB)

“And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:” Romans 11:26 (KJB)

“For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.” Romans 11:27 (KJB)

“As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father’s sakes.” Romans 11:28 (KJB)

“For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” Romans 11:29 (KJB)

Fulfillment theology says Israel’s promises are fulfilled in Christ and applied spiritually to the Church. Dispensational theology says Israel is presently blinded in part, but not permanently cast away. God still has a future national restoration for Israel because “the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” But Israel’s unbelief did not cancel God’s covenant promises. God’s dealings with Israel are paused during this present dispensation, not abolished. The Church has not replaced Israel.

Do not become “wise in your own conceits” by spiritualizing away what God clearly and plainly promised to Israel.

II. The Difference In How Each System Views The Church

“For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,” Ephesians 3:1 (KJB)

“If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:” Ephesians 3:2 (KJB)

“How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, “Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)” Ephesians 3:3,4 (KJB)

“Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;” Ephesians 3:5 (KJB)

“That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:” Ephesians 3:6 (KJB)

Fulfillment theology often views the Church as the continuation or fulfillment of Israel. Dispensational theology teaches that the Church is a mystery body revealed through Paul, made up of saved Jews and Gentiles in one body during “the dispensation of the grace of God.” The Church was not the subject of Old Testament prophecy in the same way Israel’s kingdom promises were. It was a mystery “not made known” in other ages. The Church is not Israel improved, Israel expanded, Israel spiritualized or Israel completed. The Church is the body of Christ, disctinct and seperate from the Jews and the nation of Israel.

III. The Difference In How Each System Views The Kingdom

“When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?” Acts 1:6 (KJB)

“And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.” Acts 1:7 (KJB)

Fulfillment theology often says the kingdom promises are fulfilled spiritually now through Christ’s reign in the Church. Dispensational theology says the kingdom will be literally restored to Israel in God’s appointed time. Notice carefully: the Lord Jesus did not rebuke the apostles for expecting the kingdom to be restored to Israel. He corrected their timing, not their expectation.

“Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.” Matthew 21:43 (KJB)

The kingdom of Heaven is a literal, visible, Jewish, Davidic, and earthly kingdom. Christ will reign, Israel will be restored, and the promises of God will be fulfilled exactly as spoken. The kingdom of God is a spiritual kingdom, given to the Gentile Church, and you must be born again to enter into it.

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3 (KJB)

IV. The Difference In How Each System Handles Prophecy

“Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:” 1 Corinthians 10:32 (KJB)

Fulfillment theology often uses a spiritualizing method: land becomes heaven, Israel becomes the Church, David’s throne becomes Christ’s present spiritual rule, and national promises become general Christian blessings.

Dispensational theology uses a literal, grammatical, historical reading unless the Bible itself indicates otherwise. Israel means Israel. Jerusalem means Jerusalem. David’s throne means David’s throne. The Church means the Church.

Remember to always ask this one key question when reading prophecy: To whom is God speaking? Is He speaking to Israel? The nations? The Church? Tribulation saints? The apostles? Paul? The answer matters. If you miss who God is speaking to, you will invariably arrive at the wrong conclusion.

V. The Clear Difference In Their End Result

Fulfillment Theology Produces:

  • A merged people of God, where Israel’s national future is minimized or spiritualized.
  • A present spiritual kingdom emphasis, often at the expense of a future literal kingdom.
  • A tendency to make the Church the heir of Israel’s covenants.
  • A prophetic system where many plain promises lose their literal force.

Dispensational Theology Produces:

  • A clear distinction between Israel, the Gentiles, and the Church.
  • A future restoration of Israel.
  • A literal Second Coming and earthly kingdom.
  • A proper understanding of Paul’s gospel, Paul’s apostleship, and the mystery of the body of Christ.A Bible that remains clear when rightly divided.

The issue is not whether Christ fulfills Scripture. He absolutely does. The question is whether Christ’s fulfillment cancels, transfers, or spiritualizes God’s literal promises to Israel. Dispensational theology says no. Christ is Israel’s Messiah, the Saviour of the Church, and the coming King over all the earth. Fulfillment theology often compresses those truths into one spiritualized program. Right division lets every truth stand in its own place.

Hold the line where the Bible holds it: Israel is Israel, the Church is the Church, and the Kingdom is the Kingdom. When those distinctions are lost, prophecy collapses into confusion. When they are kept, the Bible opens up exactly as God wrote it. We invite to join our online Radio Bible Studies every Sunday Night from 7:00 – 9:00 PM EST.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: 11 Scientists Tied To NASA And Nuclear Research Are Now Either Dead Or Missing As Americans Ask Who Is Silencing Them

When 11 Scientists And Officials Tied To NASA, JPL, Los Alamos And Nuclear Research All Turn Up Dead Or Missing, Someone Has Explaining To Do

At some point, coincidence stops looking like coincidence and starts looking like a body count. Nearly a dozen scientists, researchers, contractors and officials tied to NASA, JPL, Los Alamos, nuclear research, aerospace programs and Department of War-adjacent projects are now dead, murdered or missing, and Americans are being asked to believe this is all just a string of unrelated tragedies. That may be the official line for now, but it is not a satisfying answer. When people connected to some of the most sensitive scientific and military programs in the country begin vanishing or turning up dead, the burden is no longer on the public to stop asking questions. The burden is on the government to prove there is no connection, and so far, they have just about nothing to say about it.

“Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” Ecclesiastes 8:11 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the likelihood that at least some of these people were targeted is no longer a fringe theory; it is a reasonable working assumption. Not every death has to be murder, and not every disappearance has to be connected, for the pattern itself to demand investigation. These are not random celebrities or social media personalities. These are high-level people connected to nuclear weapons infrastructure, space research, advanced aerospace systems, JPL, Los Alamos, and classified-adjacent government programs. If even one of them knew something dangerous, was preparing to talk, resisted pressure, crossed the wrong contractor, or became a liability to a hidden program, then the whole story changes from tragedy to cleanup. Until every timeline is released, every cause of death explained, every agency connection disclosed, and every common program, contractor, clearance, threat or communication examined, the public has every right to suspect that something very dark is being protected. Maybe some of these cases are coincidence. But all of them? That is getting harder to believe by the day. Today we bring you the conspiracy story gripping the nation, as well as Iran War updates, the turmoil in Washington, and news from around the world.

  • “I met you at the car dealership earlier this year. We spoke briefly, then you handed me a card and told me to check out the website. You left. A few minutes later, you returned to tell me not to forget to look up the website. I told you…” I already did. I already subscribed.” In that short time we spoke, I experienced from you…a total stranger…peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and love. I am convinced that God sent you to share the Good News that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. For that, and for the work you are doing for the Kingdom of God, I say…Thank you and God Bless You.” Sonia Merced

  • I just want to thank you for the teachings you give every Sunday night on radio.  You are such a blessing to me. I absolutely love your way of teaching the scriptures.  I don’t have a church where I can have fellowship and teaching, so you have been my teacher for many months now. Thanks God you are there for all of us who have no church to go to.  I pray that the Lord will bless you abundantly in your ministry, and your loved ones too.  You are such a blessing to me, and many others, in these last days before the rapture.  Thank you so much Geoffrey, from the bottom of my heart. May the Lord keep you, until He comes back for us. You are in my prayers.” Donald Godin
  • “Thank you for the work  you are doing brother.  Your page and your testimony were a blessing to me this morning as I came across it for the first time.  Thank you for the reality of your testimony and what God has done for you in introducing you to Jesus our Lord.  God has brought me, in salvation, to Himself as well, through His love and mercy and grace in salvation.  How can we praise Him enough?  How can we not share this good news!?  I pray this day for God’s blessing on your ministry that He may save many souls through the work He has called you to.  Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)” Mark and Melissa
