Product Description

The Providence of God, conspiring with the Word of God, by light pouring in from all quarters, makes it more and more evident that Rome is in very deed the Babylon of the Apocalypse; that the essential character of her system, the grand objects of her worship, her festivals, her doctrine and discipline, her rites and ceremonies, her priesthood and their orders, have all been derived from ancient Babylon; and, finally, that the Pope himself is truly and properly the lineal representative of Belshazzar. In the warfare that has been waged against the domineering pretensions of Rome, it has too often been counted enough merely to meet and set aside her presumptuous boast, that she is the mother and mistress of all churches--the one Catholic Church, out of whose pale there is no salvation. If ever there was excuse for such a mode of dealing with her, that excuse will hold no longer. If the position I have laid down can be maintained, she must be stripped of the name of a Christian Church altogether; for if it was a Church of Christ that was convened on that night, when the pontiff-king of Babylon, in the midst of his thousand lords, "praised the gods of gold, and of silver, and of wood, and of stone" (Dan 5:4), then the Church of Rome is entitled to the name of a Christian Church; but not otherwise. This to some, no doubt, will appear a very startling position; but it is one which it is the object of this work to establish; and let the reader judge for himself, whether I do not bring ample evidence to substantiate my position.

A Challenge to People Who Support This Book
For a moment, put aside your belief on Catholicism and ask "do I support a liar even if I agree with his cause?" Or, in other words, are you Machiavelian when it comes to Christianity and let the ends justify the means?

If the answer is "no" then take the next step - go to the theological library of your choice (make sure it's fairly large - I went to three: Garrett (Evanston, IL), Trinity (Deerfield) and Wheaton)) and be a cite checker. It should take about 10 randomly selected of the legion of Hislop's footnotes for you to realize you've been lied to.

Fearfully Eye Opening !
Please read this thesis if you have a loved one trapped in the bondage of idol worship. It is an awesome resourse that will equipt you with the tools necessary to answer the tough questions. It has many illustrations. Remember that a picture is worth a thousand words. When I saw the Hindu and the Greek versions of Mary (the modanna and the child) I was forced to pause and pray to God that I could get this to as many people as possible. To date I referance this book more then I do any other book with the exception of my bible.

This book has changed my life!
I see many things in a new light now, why do people color eggs on Easter? Why does every culture on Earth have an ancient myth of a mother and child?
If you are not afraid to ask questions, this book is for you.
