Relieve the oppressed Isa 1:17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

"Climate Change" is now the newest way, and I fear, the biggest ever way that Rome has come up with to, yet again, attempt to colonize the world. History reveals the many disastrous attempts of Rome to do this in the past. Here in Canada, it has been frightening to see what has been done in the past. Colonizing is really the best word for this whole mess. Their apparent success varies, depending upon which country is being talked about. Its got to the point now, where "climate change" is being touted as the main spring board for the push to have governments around the world adopt and enforce Catholic Social Doctrines. Pope Francis has even suggested adding a chapter on "Ecological Sin" to the official Catechism of the Catholic Church. It is my understanding that the US Constitution "guarantees liberty of conscience." Nothing is clearer or more fundamental. Or, at least until recently. But even as long ago as Pope Pius IX., (in his Encyclical Letter of August 15, 1854), Pius IX has said: Another voice tells us: Perhaps now we have a much better idea on why some seek to "discredit" EGW and make her writings out to say things she never intended? The Archbishop of St. Louis once said: In the past "there was fierce opposition to the Reform Movement, so it never really took a permanent hold in some countries. The Jesuits in Italy, and especially the Spanish Inquisition, were particularly adamant in their opposition to Reformed ideas." Protestantism never did really take off in many EU nations thanks to RCC brinkmanship and colonizing. Every cardinal, bishop or priest in the Catholic Church takes an oath of allegiance to the Pope, in which occur the following words: This is exactly what Roman Catholic Priests are commanded to do. In his Encyclical Letter published in 1885, Pope Leo XIII. Says: Am I just misquoting relics of the ancient past? Is this what The Roman Catholic Church teaches today? In May 1997, Cardinal Basil Hume, spiritual leader of Roman Catholics in Great Britain, spoke at Canterbury Cathedral. In the presence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, he stated publicly that the "primacy of the Pope" was a necessary ingredient of any move toward Christian [so-called] unity involving Rome. "Full communion" with Rome only means one thing. Capitulation, and surrender to "the Roman Church." There is no such thing as actual "unity" with RCCs. It has to be their way or the highway. "Full communion" with Rome only means one thing; and its NOT "ecumenical." And its not "dialogue." (no matter how many times they say those words). In the past; and even now to an extent, we have many people think that all they have to do to "be Christian," is to just say the word Jesus in front of anything they wish to do or say, and then presto! Its suddenly "Christian." (compare Isa 4:1). Almost like an incantation. Could there be witchcraft in the church? (1 Sam 15:23). This religious artifact of wanting to be called "Christian" is bandied about like a trophy once it's obtained. Ever heard of "trophy baptisms?" Wanting to be called "Christian" has largely been subverted now by the rising of the climate phoenix of Rome as a "new" "ecumenical" version of "unity," or, more commonly, called "the common good." NOW what we are seeing is the word Jesus being replaced with the word "climate" "climate change," or sometimes "green" or "going green." Just say those words in front of any issue you want; and BINGO. We have exactly what we are seeing in the news today. Infectious diseases, and all manner of social ills are now being called "climate" issues, and propagated to the characterizations of our "modern" climate agenda and going green mantras. Every one of which finds confluence in "The Pope's Encyclical On Climate Change." It is only a matter of time before the now being proposed "common good" becomes the New World Order. Every conceivable major issue we have before us today as a society now has the divine words "climate change" attached to them. And every step along the way to "going green" even the tiniest steps, are monetized down to the smallest, possible detail. Some people are even calling this "The Fourth Reich," in deference to the new industrial revolution of The Third Reich. "Climate specialists" are increasingly calling for a "WW2 like response" to "climate change." (think "Extinction Rebellion," "Climate Psychologist" and many others). The Vatican and The UN are gunning for the fourth major world-wide industrial revolution. Is it going to be "The Fourth Reich?" (ever notice how no one asks what the 1st or 2nd Reich were?). And BTW the outfit called Extinction rebellion has been declared a terrorist/extremist organization. As with most professions in the realms of "science;" Veterinarians are even caving in to the agenda. They too are now considered as part of "the climate science." Interesting how Big Media has peppered us for the past week or so re coronavirus, and then hit us this week with how "climate change" is causing more infectious diseases, in particular, vector-borne viruses. And the same week Netflix comes out with a "Pandemic" Movie. Facebook is "promising" to remove any "false information" about the "corona virus." Big Media is obviously all in on this. Those who have their phones glued to their noses all the time are bound to be deceived by the media hype of the moment. The timing of this hype re "corona virus" is very interesting. It is being touted as something that needs "international" efforts, as in transnational efforts. "No one country" can fight it alone. (apparently). While that point is debatable, why are we suddenly hearing, from multiple fronts, that no country can survive alone or by itself? What will they think of next that will require "transnational" solutions to "the common threat?" corona virus = "common threat" interesting timing (note, the above comment is NOT making a statement that the corona virus is not a threat. It certainly is. But its important to think about how certain people will take advantage of it) The New Age New World Order is already here, by means of various compiled crises and compulsory consciousness-changing. Economy-Ecology-Ecumenism - the trinity of processes which are now being sought by The UN and Rome, in partnership. They are BOTH the same thing now. There is no difference between the UN and Rome, in terms of objectives. The "news" we are seeing will increase their scope, there will be ever-bigger numbers joining "inter-faith" environmental ministries ("greening of religion") or even the re-emerging mythological Great Mother Earth-Goddess/Gaia movement, (think Amazon Synod). We are now seeing many people believing, out of fear, and desperation, the false promise to bring forth a Utopian world of health and happiness (wellness-wholeness), peace and prosperity, and harmony and unity -- or as some have described it: "The Golden Dawn." One modern terminology for this could be just called "The Anthropocene." And guess who wants to "redefine" The Anthropocene?" Political scholars now commonly refer to The Vatican's "diplomatic status" and activities throughout the world as As far as prophecy goes, we are almost there. If you are interested in further research on the sordid history of "Sunday legislation" (in Canada), try looking at 1) How Canada's 'blue law' busybodies boss you on Sunday (Liberty magazine, November, 1955) 2) 1975 Ontario's Progressive Conservative government introduces a law (the Retail Business Holidays Act) 3) Sunday closing blamed on Christian intolerance (Toronto Star front page, February 26, 1987) 4) 'A matter of choice' Fitzgerald argues (Welland Evening Tribune, August 30, 1988) 5) Court upholds Ontario store-closing law (Toronto Star, March 21, 1991) 6) Grocers, retailers open this Sunday (Toronto Star, June 4, 1992). There are literally hundreds more). Yes, I know, many municipalities have since rescinded said "Blue Laws" for the time being. Some even on this forum say thats why "Rome" will not be able to garner "sunday laws" from civil authorities in the end times. But none of that indicates anything about Islam; except as it would pertain to how Muslims are also joining forces with the Vatican on matters of "climate change." "Climate Change" is the issue by which Islam will find confluence in the Roman, global objectives. It is essential to note how that the people whose desire for those laws about "The Sunday Obligation" in order to fight "climate change" and the religious entities behind said desires and legislations are, literally chomping at the bit, simply waiting for the chance to do it again. What better way to accomplish this, than under the umbrage of "climate emergency" and global, "common good?" I don't see how anyone can deny that this is where The Vatican is headed. Its why I said in another topic when it comes to "climate change, you heard it first at Church. It is interesting to note that Ellen White here was talking about the work in Canada, and a "Brother Burill" who "speaks of the Sunday question that is soon to be met there." Folks, "the Sunday question" is NOW before us all. Its not coming "soon." Its not coming "sometime" in the near or far future. "The Sunday Question." Its here NOW. 1/ California bishops call Catholics to 'ecological spirituality' 2/ Earth Day 2019: We are stewards of Creation, and we must act like it 3/ World needs Pope Francis' leadership as Earth Overshoot Day moves up, revealing massive environmental debt 4/ Gaia Movement and vatican see also Earth Charter 5/ Now here is one final, very interesting tidbit: WARNING: Have you heard about the secret danger about to destroy the Vatican? Forebodings of Rev 18:8? According to the Bible; Jesus is our Friend in court! The Holy Spirit is our Friend on Earth! Its no wonder some are striving so hard to demolish the doctrine on The Holy Spirit. We will be defenceless without Him!! (John 16:7-8, NiRV) Are you worried about how children are being used by the Green Agenda? Maybe its time to start thinking about HOW God is going to use young people for the everlasting gospel agenda! __________ #1/ the power, then, of expelling heresy is an essential factor in the constitution of the Church. Like other powers and rights, the power of rejecting heresy adapts itself in practice to circumstances of time and place, and, especially, of social and political conditions. #2/ civil censorship of books was the law back in around 300AD #3/ Regarding Persecution Of Heretics: The charge of cruelty is also easy to meet. All repressive measures cause suffering or inconvenience of some sort: it is their nature. But they are not therefore cruel. The father who chastises his guilty son is just and may be tender-hearted. Cruelty only comes in where the punishment exceeds the requirements of the case. Opponents say: Precisely; the rigours of the Inquisition violated all humane feelings. We answer: they offend the feelings of later ages in which there is less regard for the purity of faith; but they did not antagonize the feelings of their own time, when heresy was looked on as more malignant than treason. (RCCs tend to blame "civil powers" for any laws that support Rome). In proof of which it suffices to remark that the inquisitors only pronounced on the guilt of the accused and then handed him over to the secular power to be dealt with according to the laws framed by emperors and kings. Medieval people found no fault with the system, in fact heretics had been burned by the populace centuries before the Inquisition became a regular institution. And whenever heretics gained the upper hand, they were never slow in applying the same laws: so the Huguenots in France, the Hussites in Bohemia, the Calvinists in Geneva, the Elizabethan statesmen and the Puritans in England. Toleration came in only when faith went out; lenient measures were resorted to only where the power to apply more severe measures was wanting.

5 Facts About the Oxford English Dictionary On this day in 1884, the Oxford English Dictionary, considered the most comprehensive and accurate dictionary of the English language, was published. Today, the OED is the definitive authority on the meaning, pronunciation and history of over half a million word. Here are 5 surprising facts about the Oxford English Dictionary... Volunteers Were Used to Compile the Oxford English Dictionary It was the members of the Philological Society in London who first thought it was a good idea to publish a new and complete English dictionary back in 1857. Because it was such an enormous task, members of the public who were avid readers were asked to help with the project by sending along words and sentences that could provide insight into the words' definitions. When the first OED was published, the editors had been assisted by 2,000 volunteers. It Took Decades to Finish the First Oxford English Dictionary Although the Philological Society believed the dictionary could be completed in only 10 years, it took 70 years to finish it. By the time the first 27 years had passed, the editors had only reached the word "ant." Realizing they had seriously miscalculated the level of effort required, they started publishing unbound editions of the work-in-progress in 1884. The first volume that was completed wasn’t published until 1928, which was more than 70 years in the future from when they had first considered the idea. Famous Author J.R.R. Tolkien Contributed to the OED J.R.R. Tolkien, the author of “The Hobbit” and “Lord of the Rings,” was a contributor to the Oxford English Dictionary. He made his contributions by studying the origin of German words starting with W, such as the word "wampum." Tolkien was quoted as saying that he learned more during the many years he worked as a contributor to the OED than during any other two-year period in his life. The OED’s Longest Entry Is for the Word "Set" The three-letter word "set" is the most complex in the OED. It contains 430 different meanings and uses of the word as of the 1989 edition. The definition of this short word is an astounding 60,000 words long. Other words that have almost endless variations in which they are used include "go" (368), "take" (343) and "run" (396). One Version of the Oxford English Dictionary Is Extremely Tiny A magnifying glass came with one edition of the OED published in 1971 because the print was so tiny. One problem with the full OED was that the set of books was enormous and took up an entire bookshelf. As a result, Oxford University Press published a miniature version that was compressed so that nine pages would fit onto one. Despite the fact that users needed a magnifying glass to read the entries, it became a bestseller.
