<TITLE>03. Par -</TITLE>L-4-2 And then in this great thing they had a man by the name of Nimrod. And Nimrod was bringing all the rest of the cities and the nations under one great dominion, showing that it's a man-made theory, just a pattern. But God's church is united under God. Man has nothing to do with it. It's united under God.
And this Babylon, which was the beginning of... In the creation in the Genesis... We find out that it's plumb over in Revelation, and it speaks of this ecclesiastical world in the last days which is now, will finally unite under the antichrist: a man-made religion.
But I am thankful to say that God's church will be united too, under one Head: God. But the man-made religions will all come into this antichrist religion.

L-4-5 There'll be two forms of them. One form will come from Rome, which will be the beast, and there is an image unto the beast, which will be the ecclesiastical head of the Protestant church, heap up as a image unto the beast under the denominational world. And it'll all come under one great dominion. And the antichrist will be the one that's enthroned and seated: "anti," "against," almost exactly alike, but yet his--his--his teaching isn't from the Scriptures: enough of the Scriptures to make it look like that it's right, but it'll be wrong.

L-4-6 And I know you're--you're saying, "Brother Branham, you're referring to Rome now."
That's exactly, and not only Rome, but Protestantism too. It's exactly. The Bible said so. But there you are, the devil uniting people under one head, one ecclesiastical head, a man on earth.
The Bible said he would set in the temple of God, showing that he is God. And how he would wear a triple crown and all these things that he would do, the vicar of--of heaven, earth, and purgatory. And under this would be a--an image to him, where all the rest of them would unite together. But the church of the living God will be united under the power of God and the supervision of the Holy Spirit.
God's church shall be united. Oh, aren't you glad in this dark hour when everything's shutting off, people are not caring... They don't seem like... Their hearts are getting farther and farther away from God. The world's getting colder and colder and indifferent, because these great ecclesiastical heads are forming up.

L-5-2 In Russia, Russia is trying to unite the world under Communism. Russia... The devil that's controlling Russia is trying to unite all the world under Communism. They'll never be able to do it.
And then the U.N., United Nations, is trying to unite them under a union police force, another man-made system. It never will work; it can't. But they're all trying to.
And let me say this with respects, but according to the Word of God, that every nation today is dominated by the devil. The Bible said so. Satan showed our Lord the kingdoms of the world, and he said, "These are all mine to do with them anything I want to do; and if you'll worship me, I'll give them all over to you."
And Jesus knew that He was going to fall heir to them in the millennium, so He said, "Get thee behind me, Satan."

L-5-6 If the world was governed by Christ, we'd stack arms and there'd never be another bullet fired. We wouldn't have any use for sputniks and for hydrogen bombs to blow up people. When Christ takes over the governorship of this world as the King of king and Lord of lords, the people will be united to Him under one great big domain. It'll be a time.
