Seven Mountain Mandate

Part 3: Clasping Hands


What is the link between the Papacy and the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)? This installment hopes to provide some answers to this question.


On a stage in a Los Angeles stadium on April 9, 2016, NAR Apostle Lou Engle warmly welcomed a delegation from Pope Francis before a packed crowd of ecstatic worshipers. The wet weather had not deterred the throng of 60,000 people who had gathered to commemorate the 110-year anniversary of the original Azusa Street Revival, recognized as the beginning of both the Pentecostal and Charismatic movements.i The crowd eagerly welcomed the messengers of the Pope.


Pope Francis’ delegates greeted the gathered masses in the name of the Catholic church, and especially the 100 million plus charismatic Catholics whose worship practice closely resembles those in the Pentecostal/Charismatic movements. Charismatic Catholicism has grown rapidly around the globe, and like its Pentecostal cousins, focuses on deep emotional experiences, uplifted hands during worship singing, speaking in tongues, and a personal relationship with Jesus.ii Vatican II encouraged ecumenism, formally declaring that “The restoration of unity among all Christians is one of the principal concerns of the Second Vatican Council.”iii


After effusive mutual expressions of unity and forgiveness, the Pope’s delegate and Lou Engle kissed each other’s feet before the gathered masses and the world, proclaiming a holy moment ending the “the diabolical sin” of division between Catholics and Protestants. The papal delegates proclaimed, “Jesus doesn’t care about our differences [in doctrine]”, “we must fly united”. The exchanges can be seen starting at the 6 hour and 50 minute mark.


This incident, and other ecumenical gatherings like it, are a stunning and ominous development in the Protestant world. It is a fulfilment of Bible prophecy.


It is all too clear that the aims of Vatican II have been balefully successful. For Pentecostalism and the Charismatics, gone is the protest of Luther, forgotten are the lives of Huss, Jerome, and Wycliffe. Abandoned are the works of John Knox and John Bunyan. Forgotten are the martyrs who died by the rack and at the stake, killed by the papal power. Forgotten are the centuries of persecution, and the suffering of Pilgrims who fled Europe for America to escape the persecution of that worst of all evils, the combined rule of the church and the state. Forgotten are the warnings of Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, Roger Williams and many others.


For many in what passes for Christianity today, the faith of their fathers is gone. Gone is sola scriptura. Instead, the paramountcy of the Bible has been replaced with the primacy of emotional ecstasy. The doctrines of salvation are supplanted, and dismissed as unimportant. Repetitive and trance-inducing rock music leads to an emotional high and what is seen by many charismatics as the worship’s climax: the ecstatic emotional utterances of congregants speaking in gibberish tongues.


Today, this worship experience is not only for Pentecostals. Its entrenchment is well advanced in
almost every major denomination in the world, including, as stated, in the ranks of over a
hundred million Catholics.iv

Bible Prophecy and the Papal Power


The Bible revealed that the Roman papacy would be dominant for a period of 1260 years.vi


History demonstrates the truth of the infallible Word. From 538 AD, when civil power was
assumed by the Bishop of Rome pursuant to the decree of Emperor Justinian, to 1798 and the
capture of Pope Pius VI by Napolean’s general Berthier, the Papacy had tremendous authority
and influence over western Europe. Kings knelt at the feet of the Pope for centuries, and did the
bidding of the Roman pontiff.


Church and state in union brought incredible peril to the human family. The Dark Ages were
marked by superstition, censorship and persecution. It was the age of the suppression of the
Bible, of the Inquisition, and the burning of so-called heretics.


With the Protestant Reformation, the power of the papacy to control the state gradually
weakened until the pope of that period, Pius VI, was taken captive and died in exile in France.
The Bible had prophesied that at the conclusion of the 1260 years the papal power would receive
a deadly wound, and so it did. To hear a detailed presentation on this subject, click here.vii


A beast in Bible prophecy symbolizes a kingdom.viii There are two beasts, or kingdoms,
mentioned in Revelation 13. The Protestant Reformers knew and taught that the leopard beast of
Revelation 13 was the papal power. They knew from the Bible that the papacy was predicted to
persecute God’s people,ix and then one day receive a deadly wound.x They were aware that the
book of Revelation also foretold the rise of another kingdom around the time the papacy was to
lose its dominance. In 1752, the Reformer John Wesley correctly predicted that the lamb-like
beast with the two horns of Revelation 13 was not far away.xi


History shows that only one nation was rising to global prominence at the time of the deadly
wound to the papal power, and that nation was the United States of America


America is the greatest nation the world has ever seen, and it was founded on an express
rejection of papal teaching and authority. The papacy vehemently opposes the
separation of church and state.xii The U.S. Constitution requires a separation of church and state
in the First Amendment.xiii The Papacy is opposed to liberty of conscience.xiv The U.S.
Constitution protects liberty of conscience and religious liberty as a God-given right.xv


The papacy is opposed to freedom of speech and freedom of the press,xvi and maintained a list of
banned books for centuries.xvii The U.S. Constitution guarantees freedom of speech and freedom
of the press, and the Founding Fathers taught that without a free press liberty would perish.xviii
The papacy systematically trampled on the principles of due process both before and during the
centuries of the Inquisition, torturing people to obtain a confession to so-called heresy.xix The
U.S. Constitution constitutionalizes due process, including a right to remain silent,xx and rejects
torture.xxi


The Bible foretold that the Bride of Christ would flee into the wilderness to escape the dragon
and from the power of the Roman papacy. Ultimately, Protestantism found its way to the New
World, and one of the last great wilderness areas on the planet. How fitting that the lamb-like
beast, the United States, comes up “out of the earth” – Revelation 13:11, as opposed to the point
of origin of the other beasts in Daniel 7 and Revelation 13! Geographically, those other beasts
come out of the water, and specifically find their geographic location around the Mediterranean,
as noted in Daniel 7:2.xxii But America rose from the ground of the New World.


The Declaration of Independence repudiated the contentions of the church/state system and thus
rejected the dominionist claims of the Pope. The Founders trumpeted that human rights come
from God, not from the state. The Founders declared as “self-evident truth” “that all men are
created equal, and endowed by the Creator with certain unalienable rights.”


“Righteousness exalts a nation” – Proverbs 14:34. America’s protection of the rights and
freedoms of humanity has brought it greatness. It’s secret strength, like Samson’s, has its source
in the Almighty. America was raised by the Lord as a haven for the persecuted, and as a place
where the Gospel and the light of the Scriptures could be proclaimed to all the world. Individual
rights, constitutionalism, and the separation of church and state have made America great.


But like Samson, even the mighty may fall.


Samson, the mightiest man recorded in the Scriptures, fell through continued liaison with a
harlot.xxiii Delilah wooed him and plied him with her charms until he violated the secret trust
between himself and God and gave up the secret of his great strength. In liaison with the
Philistine civil powers, Delilah cut his hair and took his power. His two eyes were put out, and
his liberty was taken from him.


Sadly, the Bible predicts that America will fall the same way. The harlot who seeks America’s
power is the papal harlot, described in Revelation 17.xxiv Long has she sought to bring America
to its knees


As discussed HERE and HERE, the NAR apostles also want political power. The Papacy is more
than willing to ally with the NAR to accomplish her ends.


In 2016, NAR leaders met personally with Pope Francis to discuss their mutual interests. This is
a photo of NAR Apostle Che Ahn and Pope Francis.


Further details of this meeting can be found here.


Conclusion


The Bible foretells that the Papacy’s deadly wound will be healed.xxv The Bible states that the
world will wonder after the first beast, the Papal power, and it is. And the Bible states that
America and the Papacy will work together to bring about the final events of Bible prophecy.


Today, both the New Apostolic Reformation and the Catholic Integralism of the Heritage
Foundation, which openly advocates for a reunification of church and state, are within striking
distance of their goal. This will be the subject of an upcoming installment in this series.
For now, we conclude with words written nearly a hundred and thirty years ago regarding the
events now taking place before our eyes:


Through the two great errors, the immortality of the soul and Sunday sacredness, Satan
will bring the people under his deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of
spiritualism, the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome. The Protestants of the
United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand
of spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and
under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience.xxvi

xii Pope Pius X, Vehementer Nos, 1906: “That the State must be separated from the Church is a thesis absolutely false, a most pernicious error.” “Hence, mindful of Our Apostolic charge and conscious of the imperious duty incumbent upon Us of defending and preserving against all assaults the full and absolute integrity of the sacred and inviolable rights of the Church, We do, by virtue of the supreme authority which God has confided to Us, and on the grounds above set forth, reprove and condemn the law voted in France for the separation of Church and State, as deeply unjust to God whom it denies, and as laying down the principle that the Republic recognizes no cult. We reprove and condemn it as violating the natural law, the law of nations, and fidelity to treaties; as contrary to the Divine constitution of the Church, to her essential rights and to her liberty; as destroying justice and trampling underfoot the rights of property which the Church has acquired by many titles and, in addition, by virtue of the Concordat. We reprove and condemn it as gravely offensive to the dignity of this Apostolic See, to Our own person, to the Episcopacy, and to the clergy and all the Catholics of France. Therefore, We protest solemnly and with all Our strength against the introduction, the voting and the promulgation of this law, declaring that it can never be alleged against the imprescriptible rights of the Church.”


Also see - Pope Gregory XVI, Mirari Vos, 1832: “Nor can We predict happier times for religion and government from the plans of those who desire vehemently to separate the Church from the state, and to break the mutual concord between temporal authority and the priesthood. It is certain that that concord which always was favorable and beneficial for the sacred and the civil order is feared by the shameless lovers of liberty.”


xiii  First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution


xiv  Pope Pius IX, in his Encyclical Letter of August 15, 1854, said: `The absurd and erroneous doctrines or ravings in defense of liberty of conscience are a most pestilential error—a pest, of all others, most to be dreaded in a state.’ Pius IX, in his Encyclical Letter of December 8, 1864, also anathematized `those who assert the liberty of conscience and of religious worship,’ also ‘all such as maintain that the church may not employ force.’


xv  First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution


xvi Pope Pius IX, Mirari Vos, 1832: “This shameful font of indifferentism gives rise to that absurd and erroneous proposition which claims that liberty of conscience must be maintained for everyone. It spreads ruin in sacred and civil affairs, though some repeat over and over again with the greatest impudence that some advantage accrues to religion from it. “But the death of the soul is worse than freedom of error,” as Augustine was wont to say.[21] When all restraints are removed by which men are kept on the narrow path of truth, their nature, which is already inclined to evil, propels them to ruin. Then truly “the bottomless pit”[22] is open from which John saw smoke ascending which obscured the sun, and out of which locusts flew forth to devastate the earth. Thence comes transformation of minds, corruption of youths, contempt of sacred things and holy laws — in other words, a pestilence more deadly to the state than any other. Experience shows, even from earliest times, that cities renowned for wealth, dominion, and glory perished as a result of this single evil, namely immoderate freedom of opinion, license of free speech, and desire for novelty. https://rsf.org/en/dangerous-comments-pope-freedom-expression

The Sun Is Setting on the British Empire

By Wings of Liberty • October 18, 2025
Humanity is accelerating toward the fulfillment of Bible prophecy and the events warned of in Revelation 13-18. Ecumenism is bringing Protestantism back into harmony with the Papacy. The wall of separation between church and state is under attack from religeonists who covet state power to compel their dogmas on the human population. We have passed another signpost. The Church of England split from the Roman Catholic Church in 1534 during the Reformation over a dispute about papal authority and the annulment of Henry VIII’s marriage. As a result of this schism, Anglicans have long had an established creed similar to the Westminster Confession of the Reformed Church. Like the Westminster Confession, the “39 Articles of Anglicanism” formally rejects the papal claim to universal supremacy for the Bishop of Rome. The 39 Articles of Anglicanism include the following: “As the Church of Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Antioch, have erred, so also the Church of Rome hath erred, not only in their living and manner of Ceremonies, but also in matters of Faith”; “The Romeish Doctrine concerning Purgatory, Pardons, Worshiping and Adoration, as well of Images as of Relics, and also Invocation of Saints, is a fond thing, vainly invented, and grounded upon no warranty of Scripture, but rather repugnant to the Word of God”, “It is a thing plainly repugnant to the Word of God, and the custom of the Primitive Church to have public Prayer in the Church, or to minister the Sacraments, in a tongue not understanded of the people”, “Bishops, Priests, and Deacons, are not commanded by God's Law, either to vow the estate of single life, or to abstain from marriage: therefore it is lawful for them, as for all other Christian men, to marry at their own discretion, as they shall judge the same to serve better to godliness”, and “ The Bishop of Rome hath no jurisdiction in this Realm of England.” The Popes assert they “hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty”. England rejected these boastful claims and the Pope’s presumptuous authority to dominate the minds and hearts of humanity. It is not a coincidence that while many other European countries were suffering under the oppression of the Inquisition, England was advancing toward empire. So vast was is influence at one time it was famously even claimed that “the sun never sets on the British empire”. But a great change has come. For some decades England, which never sufficiently distanced herself from Rome doctrineally, has been increasingly friendly toward the Papacy. Today, the globalism of the Roman pontiff is the globalism of King Charles III. The climate change agendas of Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV are also shared by King Charles III, the latter of who’s father publicly advocated for population reduction and compared humanity to a “plague”. England is also adopting digital IDs and carrying out mass surveillance and censorship on its own citizens, a practice near to the hearts of the prelates of Rome, to be sure. And now, King Charles III, who holds the title of not only king but Supreme Governor of the Anglican Church, is headed to Rome to hold a public prayer ceremony with Pope Leo XIV. The leader of the Anglican Church has not engaged in public prayer with the Bishop of Rome for approximately 500 years. According to the Royal Palace, “This will be the first state visit, since the Reformation, where the Pope and the Monarch will pray together in an ecumenical service in the Sistine Chapel, and the first time the monarch will have attended a service in St Paul’s Outside the Walls, a church with an historic connection to the English Crown.” According to MSN News, Charles III will also accept a new title. “Charles is also being recogenised for the British monarchy’s historic association with the Papal Basilica of St Paul’s Outside the Walls in Rome, the seat of a Benedictine Abbey, and will be made “Royal Confrater” of the abbey.” Rome never changes. The Papacy has not retreated one letter from its false doctrines. It still claims authority over this earth. It still teaches the false doctrine of purgatory and forbids priests to marry, as well as many more false doctrines which Protestants, including Anglicans, object to. So why this ecumenical development today? The change is with the Anglican Church, which is drifting back toward the once-estranged mother as prophecy foretells. The light of sola scriptura that was brought to England by the Bible is being rejected. It seeks the company of the pope, the pretender to the throne of Christ. Like Israel of old, Anglicanism will say, “we have no king but Caesar.” Of all the Protestant denominations, Anglicanism is the closest to Catholicism. The pageantry and formal rites still have many similarities. England mirrors the union of church and state of Roman Catholicism by unifying church and state in the person of the monarch of England. It has no pope, but it has a king who claims to be the head of the church. Now that king will go to Rome. All roads lead there, it is said, and Protestantism has set itself to prove it. The sun is setting on the British empire after all.

THE CURSE OF CHURCH AND STATE, PART 4: THE FIRST DUTY OF CITIZENS

By Wings of Liberty • October 3, 2025
“ It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. We hold this prudent jealousy to be the first duty of Citizens...” – James Madison, Memorial and Remonstrance Let us soberly consider Madison’s warning. It is “ proper ” to be alarmed at the “ first ” experiment (in modern terms, “threat”) to our liberties . The first threat, mind you. And, not only is it “proper to take alarm”, but “ this prudent jealousy ” is the “ first duty of citizens .” What a warning! Our world is full of tyrants. There are tyrants on the Left, and yes, do not deceive yourself, there are also plenty of tyrants on the Right. Let us soberly evaluate ourselves as citizens then. Have we, do we, exercise “that prudent jealousy” to safeguard individual liberties, not only ours but the individual liberties of our society? No. If we are honest, the answer is “no.” Collectively and individually, western society has woefully failed to take alarm when individual liberties are threatened. If “eternal vigilance is the price of liberty”, as Jefferson said, we should expect to be enslaved. And we ought not to be surprised that this is precisely what is happening. We are entertained. We are preoccupied. We are self-absorbed. And we have failed to be vigilant for liberty. What liberties are we to guard? We do not have to guess. We are to jealously safeguard as our first duty those liberties enshrined in the Constitution. First and foremost, we are to safeguard the separation of church and state, freedom of religion, free speech, freedom of the press, and the right to assemble. Before considering the existential threat to liberty that Christian Nationalism poses, which is the primary subject of this article, we first must make dishonorable mention of certain other threats to liberty which so many of us have ignored to our shame and peril. Compulsion to use biologically discordant gender pronouns is a threat to liberty. Silence while the world plays make-believe about men becoming women and having babies is a threat to liberty. Government removal of parental rights is a threat to liberty. Suing bakeries to punish them for refusing to make wedding cakes for gay weddings is a threat to liberty. And yes, killing millions of babies in utero is absolutely a threat to liberty. Not only is it uncivil and immoral, it is national suicide to wilfully destroy the next generation of human beings. Killing millions of babies is correlated with western willingness to accept mass migration. There is a need to replace workers the western world does not have. How is that going for you, France? Germany? UK? America? But if any of the above makes you feel partisanly righteous, however, let us disabuse you of your sanctimony. Both Left and Right governments locked their populaces down during Covid. Both forced and bullied their citizens into social distancing and “two weeks to flatten” the spine of the population. What would Madison have said about an America where the government threatens the civil liberties of the entire country, and American’s response was to roll up their sleeves, and say, “fine, Fauci says I need it, and I really want a free hamburger”? We are to take alarm at the First Experiment upon our liberties. And when does that start? Is 37 trillion dollars of national debt a threat to liberty? What about currency debasement? Mass warrantless public surveillance? Digital money tied directly to the Federal Reserve so that authorities can shut your entire life off with the push of a button? No, Christian Nationalism is not the first threat to liberty. Not even close. But it is a threat to liberty and more than this, it is biblically prophetic, as we have discussed. Click Here For Previous Articles You might ask – why shouldn’t the Christian Right take control of civil power and abuse the Left as much as the Left has abused us? And we could respond, and do respond, “because it is unconstitutional”. And it is. But the answer is bigger than that. Doug Wilson, and Jared Longshore. Timon Cline and Lennox Kalifungwa. Stephen Wolfe. These, and many other modern and intolerant “Christian” thought leaders all believe in the establishment of a Christian Republic in America as a cure for society’s ills. What do they propose? Liberty? Far from it. The Woke Left violated free speech through state-sponsored gender confusion and forced pronouns. The Christian Nationalist response is blasphemy laws enforced by the state. Doug Wilson and friends are constantly telling everyone who will listen how great the Puritans in Massachusetts were, and that they founded America, which is false by the way. But they do not tell you that in Massachusetts violations of blasphemy laws were historically punished by piercing the offender’s tongue with a hot poker, or death. Today in Massachusetts, a blasphemy law still exists (although it is not currently enforced), and states as follows: Section 36: Blasphemy Section 36. Whoever wilfully blasphemes the holy name of God by denying, cursing or contumeliously reproaching God, his creation, government or final judging of the world, or by cursing or contumeliously reproaching Jesus Christ or the Holy Ghost, or by cursing or contumeliously reproaching or exposing to contempt and ridicule, the holy word of God contained in the holy scriptures shall be punished by imprisonment in jail for not more than one year or by a fine of not more than three hundred dollars, and may also be bound to good behavior. Are we so blind that we do not see that censorship from the Right is as much a threat to liberty as censorship from the Left? Christian Nationalists claim Swiss Reformer John Calvin is the father of America. This is a dangerous and outrageous falsehood, and will be the subject of an upcoming article. It must never be forgotten that John Calvin had men murdered for the supposed crime of heresy, the substance of which was nothing more than disagreeing with John Calvin. The Woke Left hijacked government to enforce their religion of gender ideology. And Christian Nationalists want to establish Protestantism as an official state religion, contrary to the First Amendment to the Constitution. Doug Wilson and company intend to legislate compliance with the first table of the Ten Commandments. That includes blasphemy laws, of course, but also Sunday ‘Sabbath’ blue laws, and punishments for supposed violations. Violations of Sunday laws historically included whipping. Jailing. Chain gangs. Stocks. And death. And in case you were wondering, all of those things when imposed for simply disagreeing with religious bigots are a threat to liberty. Christian Nationalists want to demolish the separation of church and state in America, and even admit their intention to impose a religious test for public office, contrary to the Article VI of the Constitution: The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution ; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States. Doug Wilson and company are openly stating their intention to threaten the liberty of every single American. Madison would have opposed them publicly, were he alive. But he has left the trust to us. Madison as a youth stood outside a local prison and listened to an incarcerated minister preach through the bars of his cell window. The minister had been imprisoned for the so-called “crime” of “preaching the Gospel incorrectly”. Because he had seen oppression from religious bigots firsthand, James Madison had a lifelong animus to the union of church and state. And so should you. It is a threat to liberty, and it is your first duty as a citizen to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. ********************************* Sources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmSG4U06X2o – Discussion between Walter Veith et al and Doug Wilson where Doug Wilson states he is in favor of the state establishment of the Protestant religion. “I believe the Christian faith ought to be the public faith of our civic polity. That’s why I’m a Christian Nationalist.” – Doug Wilson, minute 33:30. Wilson claims he nevertheless believes in the First Amendment and the separation of church and state, which is disingenuous. He also believes the government should enforce the first table of the Decalogue, proving further that he is really aiming to break down the wall of separation between church and state. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dgkfi191qV0 – David Shepherd and Lennox Kalifungwa interview Pastor Douglas Wilson and Ben Merkle https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hRZ1eTNX65w – Senate hearing on Covid shot safety, September 2025 https://www.senate.gov/about/origins-foundations/senate-and-constitution/constitution.htm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFeIO0ZjdF8 - CNN interview with Christian Nationalist Doug Wilson
