<TITLE>20. Par 147-150</TITLE>L-147 He protested the Catholic church, and the--that began the little snatch-out from then. All right, look, it was on. But it was more of a--a fight for political power than it was for the real true church, for the Christian standards. They only fought for a political right to come out of the church and make another church. They never reformed, coming out of the Catholic church to bring back the Holy Ghost and power in the church, because they denied It. See? It was a political rally. That's their... It would certainly fit, "Thou has a name that thou livest and are dead." In other words, he just brought out the Protestant denomination; that's all. He brought a daughter out of the church, out of the... He brought a prostitute out of the whore. That's exactly what had happened. He brought Athaliah out of Jezebel.

L-148 Now, any one that reads the Reformation knows that's so, because he just simply... A few of the old relics and orders that--and ceremonies, he--he simply demolished them, but as far as bringing the Holy Ghost back in the church like it was back here, he did not do it. No, sir. It was a political fight more than it was a spiritual fight. It was politics instead of the Holy Ghost. He had not yet entered the church. O brother, He hadn't come back; He comes back here, not up there.

L-149 Now, it was a great political rally, but it was not for the holy Scriptures and the--and the Holy Ghost. It was a political rally that he did get rid of some of the old relics of the crucifix, and "Hail Mary's," and all of that. But he still brought out a catechism. He still brought out this... What do you call it? Consecration services or whatever it was down there when they go down on the--the Easter morning, and the pastor wishes them a "Merry Christmas," you know. "Don't see them no more till Christmas time," he said, you know. It a... Oh, confer--confirming service, what I'm trying to say. Take them down and confirm them, give them the first communion and confirm them. There is no such a thing as confirming. The only confirming that's mentioned in the Bible, in--in the Bible, is when God confirmed His Word with signs and wonders following them. That's the confirming, not the confirming of belonging to a Lutheran church. It's God confirming His Word in you. "And the Lord would work with them (Mark 16), confirming the Word with signs following." That's the confirming of the Pentecostal church. That's the confirm... God confirms Himself alive as a miracle-working God in the church, speaking in tongues, interpreting of tongues, and doing the same things they did at the beginning.

L-150 Am I wearing you out? [Congregation replies, "No"--Ed.] All right. Now, notice, they did not bring back the Holy Ghost revival; they brought back a new church age. They brought back a snatched-out one, escaped one from the Roman hierarchy to make a Protestant hierarchy. That's the only thing they did: jumped right out of the skillet into the fire. See? It--it's right. Exactly.
Jezebel just give a birth to a daughter. And now, don't think I'm just saying this to--to act smart. I'm saying this because the Bible said so. The Bible, in Revelations 17, said she was a mother of harlots. Jesus said here, "Just like Jezebel was, so will she be." And she put forth daughters that polluted the--the country that wasn't polluted. Now, that's exactly what Protestantism done to the real Spirit of God; it polluted the thing and put it right back into another organization. Which, if God willing, on Sunday morning, I want to show you that--that--that they make a image unto the beast, and the beast was Rome. And they made a image like that. What was it? A organization. Oh, I hope that soaks down into your hearts, people.
