First Pope: Peter or Nimrod?

With all the hoopla going on around the “election” of the next - and perhaps last - Pope, I consider it a good time to examine, just a bit, the FIRST Pope.

In 1993, I travelled to Uganda with my wife and two of our children, and we stayed for a couple days in the Capitol (Kampala) at the Nile Hotel. To our complete surprise, we discovered that also staying at that hotel were dozens, if not scores, of Roman Catholic Cardinals, due to Pope John Paul II’s visit that was happening at the same time.

For all I know, the Pope was in the hotel, too.

It was an impressive scene, I will tell you, with red-caped RC crusaders everywhere, and an enormous line of matching Mercedes occupying the extensive promenade to the hotel. We took pictures, and laughed heartily. In further discussions with the Ugandan Christians who were the hotel staff, we commented together that we were in the sphere of concentrated spiritual wickedness in the high heavenlies.

When one examines this matter of the Papacy carefully through the lens of the Scripture, it becomes clear that its long legacy is not to Peter, but to Nimrod.

“That bass was like this!”

Although the Roman Catholic hierarchy works at claiming a lineage to Peter, and the Pope wears what he calls “the Fisherman’s Ring,” it takes a big imagination to visualize this fellow as having anything to do with a boat or fish, let alone apostleship!

But it’s not entirely accurate to call the Papacy “unbiblical” because while it has nothing to do with the apostles or Peter personally, it DOES have to do with a famous personage in Scripture, and that is Nimrod , the rebel of Babel.

Nimrod organized a religious and political system against God’s command for earth dwellers to spread out over the entire land mass, be fruitful, and multiply. Instead, Nimrod went about setting up his own kingdom, and misled mankind in an attempt to establish a city, and a name, and a tower that replaced the heavenly commands of God. It was Nimrod’s “Just say ‘no’ campaign.” His attempt - successful until God intervened - was to replace the message of God with his message, the city of God with his city, adn finally the person of God with himself.

“Babel” means “confusion” and confusion reigns supreme in the Papacy, and its descendant organization. The strange admixture of Judaism, Christianity, and Paganism stymies the clear analysis of millions, and creates the very atmosphere of misdirection needed to mesmerize the mass of men into tolerating and even cooperating with its agenda against God.

Despite the correspondence of the Roman Catholic Organization (RCO) with Babylon of old, we must remember that while there is yet the church of Jesus Christ His body functioning on the earth, Babylon is in “mystery form,” and will not reach its fulfillment until the false prophet and the man of sin arise, at the very end of this age.

Therefore, what can we anticipate? That the motion of incorporation into the idolatrous system that is the RCO will continue apace, gaining momentum with each passing day. We can look for more successful initiatives, like the Second Vatican Council of the 1960’s, that - though marked by confusion and contradiction - was effective at “bridge-building” into theretofore Christian bulwarks for truth.

At the same time, Popery will be making more forays into the religious sphere that is not even nominally “Christian.”

We will watch - again through Scripture’s lens - how the RCO will somehow be incorporated with Islam, Protestantism, Judaism, Neo-Paganism, and Eastern Mysticism into the full spiritism that will finally issue in the worship of the beast, the man of sin .
